So good to see someone who actually knows how to make Carbonara! I see so many people put cream in it and call it Carbonara, but it's actually Alfredo if you put cream in.

[@annablm8915]

Yummi! I'm Italian but I live in South Africa since last year and it's difficult to find "pancetta" here, so I often buy bacon to make Carbonara and it's delicious even if it is not the proper recipe :D

[@aphinya4494]

omg looks soo good

[@CreativeKitchen]

Looks lovely!

[@Michael-gz1fx]

Very easy & quick to make on weekdays. It was really tasty. THX.

[@paulafigueiredo1745]

Finally someone who knows how to cook (almost) the perfect carbonara. I say almost, because far away from Italy is very difficult to get the "real" ingredients. I've seen ruined recipes with cream. Congrats. Keep up with your great job ❤️

[@ChefRafi]

The music is great. What a classic dish.

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

glad you enjoyed it

[@paxtonb7202]

[@chamundeswarisanku3049]

I want to try it

[@xaniadarami]

I'm so, so, so glad the right recipe is online! As an Italian, I always find foreign chefs ruining the amazing dish that is Carbonara. Aside from minor differences regarding the ingredients, your recipe is delicious and accurate! Thank you for sharing this!

[@SandraDelC48]

xaniadarami what are the differences in ingredients? I usually use pancetta, and I put garlic.

[@xaniadarami]

It's guanciale or pancetta in cubes, you only use the yolk of the egg and the cheese is put after the finished dish to make sure the egg gets absorbed by the pasta instead of being mashed with the cheese. :)

[@marwatawfik8694]

you are fantastic your work , your reciepes , your technice , your songs everything is sooo perfect .. god bless u

[@MsNak263]

Delicious! I made this yesterday using halloumi instead of parmesan cheese and it was amazing!

[@tt0050]

Thank you for your lovely channel. You are such a great lady

[@Froycelyn]

This is so much more than just a cooking channel. Every single one of your videos is a piece of art. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into creating them. Not only is it a joy to watch, but it also gets me excited to get cooking and baking myself. Thank you for all of that!

[@rociojimenez9298]

Home Cooking Adventure. ❤️❤️

[@FlamiLovesNy]

Hi! I'm Italian,from Rome! Your recipe is not as the italian one(we dont use bacon) ,but.. seems good!

[@FuckingHellrider]

credo che non abbiano proprio il guanciale ahahah ma come ricetta è la meno peggio, almeno è “autentica"

[@SandraDelC48]

fla minia I use pancetta. Would you mind sharing the real Italian recipe?

[@FuckingHellrider]

The real recipe is with pork cheek, not bacon :) but i can understand, in other countries I don’t think there is pork cheek. And you only need the egg yolk

[@FuckingHellrider]

***** yeah, I agree with you. Indeed, in this recipe, i don’t see anything wrong. But when I saw other videos in which they cooking carbonare with cream and cheddar... sorry but i almost thew up

[@echeloninaemo]

So don't do at all... Our Italian recipes MUST have done in the right way with their right ingredients... I love Homecooking adventure so much but when I see our traditional recipes done in the wrong way, I'm feeling like it's an insult to me and my country... even because you believe this is the right way to cook it but it isn't...

[@sandyking59]

so good made it for dinner last night

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

happy to hear that :)

[@ayselnezerli5914]

so good👍👍

[@mayka195]

Brava!! I'm Italian too, aside from bacon instead of pancetta, this is the true Carbonara recipe, as my grandmother and my mother and me too :) Again, brava!

[@bernadinebaptiste2459]

Yum! (First)! I really love your vids, on some days I binge watch your recipes. 😊😊😋😋

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

thank you:) happy to hear that Bernadine

[@giuliovalente115]

+Home Cooking Adventure hhahahaa, I am italian and when I heard the italian Song I laugh for 10 minutes

[@VokabulaENG]

Giulio perhaps you can help neighbour from the other side of Adriatic sea and tell me song name? :)

[@gioxi81]

sound hound does not find it. I am italian and i never heard that song. I tried to google the lyrics but still no results. I think it's some original jingle ! i will investigate more and i will get back to you :)

[@VokabulaENG]

gioxi81 yes, I tried shazaam it too but no luck either :) Thanks for helping me mate

[@reshmabenz]

yumm 😍 it looks delicious.... i will prepare it for my family...

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

sounds good

[@alinjoon4430]

Thanks sweet ☺️👌👌👌👌🍝

[@ABDULAZIZ-xn8yb]

YOU ARE THE BEST CHANNEL EVER

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

thank you

[@YenNguyen-vc6wc]

We just made this and it's delicious! My hubby loves it. We used pork instead of bacon. So good! Love your works! ❤

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

So happy to hear u gave it a try!

[@annamennella4059]

buonissimi!😍😘😗👏👏👏👏👏

[@francescoromeo4948]

you are almost there... the bacon has to be changed with "guanciale" and cut in tough pieces and it must be cooked while the pasta is boiling, same thing for the eggs, they have to be mixed with pecorino romano (not parmesan) while the pasta il cooking. this way your spaghetti will not attach togheter while you prepare the rest. but this is one of the best carbonara version i have seen by non italians :)

[@Vera_Nguyen]

looks toooo gudddddd

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

it really is good:)

[@KuroCyou]

you're one of the few people who actually put the right recipe online, kudos! (even though you actually need pecorino cheese and the bacon should be chopped in cubes but they're small things)

[@phillipsmom6252]

KuroCyou ... Maybe you should go make a video.

[@KuroCyou]

maybe mine is not a recipe channel but I know how to cook a carbonara uhn.

[@chriswest7639]

Eileen LeValley bhahaha😂

[@ambra2294]

You don't use bacon to cook a carbonara!

[@malar3800]

would love to try if you have alfredo fettucine recipe ^_^ cheers!

[@amandah1930]

Looks yummy! I would add some wilted greens to add more nutrition though.

[@julialupercio1124]

wow yummy se mira extupenda wow

[@nininini6851]

wah maza aagaya hmnn 😘

[@Bubblegum55899]

I'm hungry now 😍😍😍

[@catfabelav3544]

le bonheur est dans la simplicité:)

[@NoorKhan-qz1hp]

I like the recipe most

[@divinationart]

Everytime.... Another dishes thats make me watering...(First one!)

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

thank you:) glad you enjoyed the video

[@nadyalove7254]

I don't understand why still there is negative comment!, home cooking adventure is my favorite channel..cooking on KZbin ,, keep it up the good work😬😁

[@Ganaha_Celosia_Priskos]

Yeah same. I see a lot of people saying "Bacon isn't in the real carbonara" and that's true, but maybe they couldn't find pancetta or prosciutto and bacon was all they could find. Also even if they did do it the "traditional way" I feel like there would still be comments criticizing.

[@greekista]

I make this recipe by myself too...it's brilliant and so delicious but I usually add 2 whole eggs + 1 egg white. it becomes more juicy

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

sounds good:) will try it next time

[@mustafablack2737]

wow

[@fiaqamar7675]

bravo!! can you please upload video on making waffles??

[@hindlabiad135]

thanks too much dear it's look so good ... can you please tell me the mane of the song cuz i like too much ....,?

[@phillipsmom6252]

Looks great. What brand induction burner are you using?

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

it is a VICHI burner. .

[@knubbelidoo]

That's how you do it! That way and basically no other way. Unfortunately, growing up in Germany, my first 20 years or so, "Carbonara" for me was that dreadful thing we have over here with cream sauce and ham. It's not really bad, but...when I discovered the real Carbonara...pure bliss! So easy, so quick, and so damn tasty. Thank you for this video, now I have to treat myself to some Carbonara in the next couple of days, probably...:-P

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

thank you:) indeed this is the best way to make Carbonara, no cream .. happy cooking

[@zainabmengal1334]

nice recipe plz tell me a substitute for parmezan cheese

[@MeTheVee]

💗

[@nosheenarif9795]

looks very delicious. I wanna ask whats the correct timing of boiling pasta some times it boild very sticky. and please whats your name .

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

It's Ella.. try to boil according to package instructions and use good quality spaghetti

[@nosheenarif9795]

Home Cooking Adventure thank you very much Ella for giving my reply .

[@vapacanovapa9182]

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

Bello - www.audionetwork.com/browse/m/track/bello_123688?st=quicksearch&ref=bello

[@andreaoa3818]

Ok, I am Italian too, and come on, who cares if she uses bacon instead of our "guanciale"? Maybe, where she lives, she has access only to bacon? Anyway, I rather see someone that uses bacon, which is similar, than someone that puts heavy cream or only God knows what. This for me is an excellent carbonara!

[@jonathanjohn2664]

Hey, for your next video can you please tell me a nice and simple chocolate cake recipe and frosting, I have seen all your last video out of which the only cake was the rose cake, it contains many ingredients like gelatin and sour cream that is not in my country, I would really like it if you give me a simple chocolate cake with frosting recipe for your next video, please. Thanks!

[@dalenegerdon4122]

😍

[@rosamariaigonosorio3736]

Hello, where is your distintive and beautiful bowl? It's break? 😯 but, your recipes are wonderful!!!

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

yes.. unfortunately :( it is chipped on one side.. wish I could fix it

[@achindatyal231]

DELICIOUS!!!!! PLZ cook some Indian cuisines

[@ChefRafi]

Achin Datyal that's my favorite. Especially butter chicken.

[@taghreed126]

background music a wonderful

[@hassanjanjua1880]

hi! can i use chicken bereast instead of bacon

[@ONHBAB]

can i use ground beef instead of bacon?

[@ImaneLakouismi]

what's "bacon" in french ? can you translate it for me please .. I follow your channel since a long time I love your cooking .. love from MOROCCO ♥

[@StephenCEstrada]

What song is this!???

[@Nephenee89]

Good! Again, compliments from Italy! That's almost the real italian recipe! Just an info: Original carbonara is prepared with "guanciale" instead of bacon, because the first one is a litlle greasier and cooks in its own grease (you don't have to add any oil or butter). But I know it's pretty difficult to find it in USA. Plus, try cutting bacon in thicker pieces (0,5 cm cubes)

[@gaetanorizzo3097]

Without the egg whites

[@ivyrinnalai]

Never knew it was that easy.. haha xD

[@ruqayyasiddiqi9625]

i made your chocolate macroons they were heaven

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

so happy to hear that:) you did an amazing job

[@Davuto91]

Hi. The bacon you used looks like prosciutto to me..... is it?

[@chamundeswarisanku3049]

what can we use as a substitute for eggs and bacon please reply

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

you can use cream and any other meat like smoked salmon but that won't be carbonara anymore

[@Harini-oo6rj]

yeah you can't make carbonara without eggs

[@courtneyparrish6878]

Whos ready for Thanksgiving lol

[@xuxsxexr9948]

I've tried this food before this. But it's fail enough. Maybe this time it will success

[@mmm870]

When will the egg cook ?

[@mariamm3785]

can we change the bacon with other thing please ??

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

sure.. I've made them once with smoked salmon and worked great.. here is the recipe: www.homecookingadventure.com/recipes/smoked-salmon-carbonara

[@nadyalove7254]

Hi,, is it No need put milk or heavy cream?? Cause in my country (Indonesia ) we add milk to the egg.. Thanks before

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

no need.. they get creamy enough without milk or cream

[@nadyalove7254]

Alright.. 🙏 thangkyou.. I'll try without milk 😁😁😊

[@jsrochapoa]

Beautiful recipe! Only missed some fresh parsley in the end ;-)

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

:) some use it some not.. that is why I just put it in the background

[@KuroCyou]

parsley on carbonara... no sir. (italian here)

[@robyramones]

and no bacon...but guanciale. . (another italian here)

[@ruqayyasiddiqi9625]

yay first time so early

[@benw8691]

On peut remplacer les lardons par quoi ? Merci

[@AgnahsWorld]

C'est du jambon coupé ici donc tout ce qui est jambon, bacon etc. Si tu ne manges pas de porc tu peux toujours prendre les substituts qu'on trouve en supermarché, ça a plus ou moins le même goût ou essayer avec les jambons de dinde mais je ne sais pas ce que ça donnera en goût ^^

[@benw8691]

Agnah Plays merci je vais l essayer avec jambon de dinde

[@syedmazhar4589]

any substitute for olive oil please, or it is compulsory?

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

any other vegetable oil is fine

[@syedmazhar4589]

Ok thanks:)

[@andreaziviani7815]

Syed Mazhar dont use oil, the fat of becon is just ok (use guanciale if you Can)

[@syedmazhar4589]

Thanks for the tip:)

[@reet_narang]

home cooking adventure which country are you from??

[@petriucgina9379]

[@Homecookingadventurerecipes]

thank you Renu

[@djamil1000]

This looks so yummy, will definitely give it a try + the music is so good!

[@Mayatemil]

so heavenly mouthwatering but parmesan cheese is sooo expensive in my living area...

[@Evikeuklavier]

How much does it cost?

[@Mayatemil]

Well, umh, i am not american so it costs like 4 USD for only 100 g

[@Mayatemil]

4 usd may be only small amount for americans but for us, it's so expensive, more expensive than buying 5 kg of rice

[@lalame9557]

A garlic in pasta ??

[@mayrarangel3577]

how do you make sure the egg is cooked???

[@shtiri]

you put it on the hot pasta, it will cook

[@mayrarangel3577]

Picsie but how do you know its cooked i mean it will change consistency? color? or anything?

[@shtiri]

yes, it will change consistency...it will look a bit like scrambled eggs. just make sure the pasta is hot.

[@mayrarangel3577]

Picsie thankyou!!!

[@essamsjourney5193]

can i use cheddar cheese instead?

[@galaxiessky]

YN GHAF It won't have the same taste. Trust me :)

[@Akidryt]

But you can use it nonetheless

[@Nephenee89]

NOPE.

[@diobrando9296]

E noi italiani a vedere queste cose piangiamo lacrime di sangue... TT_TT

[@urushanaz7081]

Can we make it with CHICKEN

[@Aina-il6jp]

Easiest carbonara I've ever seen

[@fathima.ranwar1657]

a good substitute for bacon bc i dont eat bacon

[@kausarshaikh5585]

fathima.r anwar hi! you can maybe use chicken sausage or even shredded chicken breast..or even halal pepperoni...you can tweak this recipe and make it to your preference! hope this helped! have a good day:-)

[@dottorben]

Let the Italians make carbonara: it's not your cup of tea!

[@SandySandifer]

Actually, you only use the egg yolk, then you have original Italian Spaghetti Carbonara.....la dolce Vita !

[@walkernick86]

Nearly. Should be parmigano reggiano DOP cheese, and Pork cheek..m or at least Pancetta rather than bacon.
