Spaghetti carbonara 🍝

Carbonara
Ingredients
- 400g Guanciale, diced small
- 300g pecorino cheese, grated
- 1 packet spaghetti
- 1 whole egg
- 3 egg yolks
- Salt for the pasta water
Method
1. Place a large pot of water on to boil with 2 pinches of salt in it.
2. In a large frypan, add the guanciale and place on a med-high heat
3. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente
4. Once the guanciale is golden, remove from the heat and drain the fat from it, keeping both the guanciale and fat
5. In a mixing bowl, add all the eggs and the cheese, then add about 1/2 cup of the hot pasta water and mix
6. Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the pan the guanciale was in and then add 3/4 of the cooked guanciale and the cheese and egg mixture
7. Mix well (note you do not want the heat on under this), feel free to add some more of the hot pasta water if you feel it needs
8. Serve and sprinkle some of the leftover crispy guanciale on the top and some fresh black pepper.
9. Enjoy!

[@ShanesCreating]

​@bfeltyonkimin7884 I think the point he's trying to make is that it's not authentic carbonara. It will taste similar, but the texture and over all taste will be more authentic and slightly different if made with guanciale.

[@michelebarzan]

Friendly reminder from an Italian who knows little about cooking: “Carbonara” comes from “carbone”, coal in Italian. That’s because you use a lot of black pepper and so it looks like “carbone”. We usually add pepper also to the egg and cheese mixture, a lot of pepper. Plus we turn off the heat when we add the egg mixture to the pasta to prevent it from becoming an omelette.

[@LKnight32]

Typically you would also use a mix of Pecorino and Parmigiana as well?

[@dylanmorgan2752]

That’s true but clearly he didn’t scramble the eggs and everything else was authentic so not even the Italians can complain.

And the guanciale doesen't have that much peper ethier like i was literally thinking it haa to be good but diferent cause it has no peper.

[@anthonygm85]

Same for me I do order in online but expensive

[@pantherslair]

It's like what he said, if it doesn't have Guanciale in it, then it's not a Carbonara. Bacon and Pancetta simply does not have the texture or explosion of flavour like Guanciale has when you cook it, giving a crunchy, crispy coating on the outside and a barn-yard soft explosion of flavour inside. Plus the oil from the Guanciale is an essential part of the cooking process. I make authentic Carbonara like this semi regularly and Guanciale is readily available from many Italian Grocers, European Deli's, Online retailers, and from an Aussie business known as "Super Butcher". If you shop around, you will find someone close to you that sells it.

[@giangboo]

@@vt0210 just put the yolks and the cheese straight into the pasta and keep stirring. If, IF, it is too thick, add a splash of pasta water. Carbonara is supposed to have a luxurious, silky texture that is a result of physical force and emulsified fats. What is in the video has none of that. Simply because it's too diluted because he pre-melted the cheese. It completely changes the feel of the dish. The less ingredients, the less places to hide bad technique. And it shows in this one.

You're wonderful at your craft. You certainly know your STUFF. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@auntienina3142]

Thank you!

[@saragiustiniani7587]

You're the first non-italian person I know making an actual Roman carbonara. Thank you so much for doing what you're doing so beautifully ❤

[@rme1383]

Are there different types of carbonara?

[@asafa36363636]

What u mean Roman Carbonara, Carbonara is been created by Renato Gualandi that was from Bologna and he created in Riccione, than the carbonari used the American food to try to recreate pasta cacio e ovo. And by the way in the real carbonara black pepper is major ingredient is not " a lil bit of cracked pepper"

@@asafa36363636 it's a fake!

[@skanf]

@@rme1383 no!

[@manyskbigbear]

I am Canadian from Québec and I Do my Carbonara like this. I change the way to Do IT on an restaurant I work years ago and some custumers Begin to Come just for that because only Carbonnara on Town without Cream and bacon.

[@fraserwilliamson5330]

I love the fact you have done a short on the carbonara! The best part is.. you do it the same way as I do.

FINALLY A REAL NOCE ITALIAN CARBONARA

[@MrHan93]

I have made this dish many times before but never with this technique looks soo much better thanks Andy!

[@andy_cooks]

🙏

[@davledav]

It finally happened, Chef you have warmed my soul with this beautiful and authentic dish!

[@blakeluvsu1]

Cant wait to try it out

[@nickm8874]

I don’t know nearly as much about cooking as you; but I know some cuisines well, and some dishes very well. Every time I see you attempt something I know (in this case carbonara, because I go to Rome a lot) you get it absolutely spot on A very impressive chef

[@kuanhau4323]

I usually use just the one pan but always find it hard to get a perfect emulsification. It’s good but not perfect. By using an extra bowl and strainer, he can control all the levels of water v fat. Now I realise where I went wrong is that guanciale has different amounts of fat rendered out and it’s hard to eyeball it in a pan. By straining it out you see really how much came out and don’t need to guess how much is still sticking to the meat. Adding the hot water to the cheese gives a consistent texture too. Love these details. No wonder all the Italians are giving so much love

[@MictianHybris1]

almost perfect! Only thing would be adding more black pepper to the egg cream but that's it!

[@ChefIsaac925]

There is no cream 😂

[@saschaberger7201]

​@@ChefIsaac925 prob meant egg "cream" as egg+cheese so it's a bit more creamy wich yea in that mixture he could had added a bit more pepper

[@muyfitbyfelipe]

I love and enjoy watching your videos. It would be nice if you mention for how many people you’re cooking so the proportions, pounds, etc are explained in your short videos. My suggestion doesn’t change at all how much I have learned from you, indeed …. Plus, you are a funny guy.🙏

[@blingman78]

If you click the three dots and then "description", it has all the portions there :)

[@murphyslaw509]

Our dinner for tonight. Thanks uncle andy 🫡

[@fireside9549]

Thanks for always adding the recipe in the description. Legend Andy.

[@feleciamalcolm1076]

It’s the integrity for me! love it! Carbonara is by far one of those underrated powerhouses ❤

[@JediJess1]

Damn! That looks good!

[@funnykid101010]

Thank you! turned out great. Really easy. Small tip if it's too thick, save some pasta water to get the sauce perfect

[@_ad_twosetter_]

THANK YOU I JUST TRIED THIS ITS AMAZINGGG

[@gabrielepisetta6206]

Italian here. Love your videos, nailed the carbonara. You’re a blessing mate!

[@pisacenere]

As an Italian well done almost perfect

[@tiny4451]

Almost?

[@stst4326]

​@@tiny4451 for me it's still far away from traditional way

[@tOphEoriginal]

Dude, ALMOST? It's PERFECTO!

[@briantaylor3204]

Why almost? What step/ingredient was missed?

[@huh5950]

Nah bro not almost, its right. bro non possiamo andare in giro a scassare così tanto, la ricetta è giusta poi se tu hai tur preferenze aveccene ne hai il diritto però non centra con la ricetta

[@tartufo4870]

I love carbonara the best 👌 👍 😍 🥰 😋...you cooked different but I would risk myself for the team 😃😄🤣🥰

[@ryan-uu9lj]

Honestly, a really good jowl bacon can almost take the place of the guanciale. Especially if it's been smoked well. Just add cracked pepper to the jowl for a few days before and it's damn close. Only way i could make it here in Tennessee without spending a fortune before it was more readily available online.

[@lorenzobalestri5596]

Great recipe! I like to finish cooking the pasta in the pan with some guanciale fat and some pasta water, to make it more creamy, and then add the egg mixture. It ends up a bit more flavourful, aswell, in my opinion!

[@bachcellosuiteNo1inG]

I can hear Pastaqueen screaming _gorgeous_ 🤩

[@swisski]

...Just like you are....😉

[@kimlee1416]

Well done Andy, looks delicious.
