No Cream, No Oil, just Magic: The Art of Making Carbonara.

In this video, we will learn how to make the classic Roman carbonara recipe using rigatoni pasta from Gragnano, the city of pasta in the region of Campania. We will be using all-natural ingredients and traditional methods to create a creamy and delicious sauce without cream or oil. The key ingredients for this recipe are guanciale, Pecorino Romano cheese, fresh peppercorns, and eggs. Follow along as we cook for two people and explore the magic of pasta water, creamy sauce, and al dente pasta. Impress your loved ones with this authentic Italian recipe!

A kitchen fit for a queen! What a set up! that stove with the brass rail, the fire place, the cutlery (did you see that knife), the pots and pans and of course the espresso machine, lets not forget the cutting board. Even the wood spoons are as hot as the past queen!

[@anthonydecesare2054]

and by the way I make my Carbonara exactly the same way, perfect carbonara is all in the technique it is so important to take some of the guanciale renderings and stir them into the yoke cheese mixture. one thing I have just started doing when cooking pasta is, I am using less water to boil the pasta in order to increase the starch content of the pasta water for finishing sauces. when stirring it in the sauces become richer and more glistening, simply gorgeous............ just like you.......

I have spaghettoni, spaghetti quadratti, fettuccine, and penne rigate, so many choices to try. I bet this is a good video Vincenzo (Vincenzo's Plate) can react to without risking his blood pressure.
