The Real Carbonara

Today we're making one of the four famous Roman Pastas: La Carbonara. This dish truly represents my youth and the generation that saw this great Italian staple change through the years. When I was a kid I remember the eggs being way more cooked (almost scrambled-like) and in the past 10 years everyone raging about making the perfect Egg Yolk cream - also called Carbocrema.
The Carbonara is definitely an easy way to make a scrumptious dish for your guests, it requires only few steps and few ingredients. Simple is always better.
Is Carbonara the ultimate Roman Pasta? Probably, or at least...the most famous one.
Let's make one together:
Mezze Maniche, Rigatoni or Spaghetti Pasta 100g - BUY HERE: amzn.to/3ZflJcq
Guanciale (Pork Jowl) 100g - BUY HERE: amzn.to/3MB50bZ
Egg Yolks 4 (you can definitely manage with less, like 2 or 3, but I wanted mine extra creamy for presentation)
Pecorino Romano DOP 70g - BUY HERE: amzn.to/47mYGPc
Mixed Peppercorns freshly grounded - to your taste.

"Rimorsi" in Italian literally means "Regrets". It's a sarcastic way for romans to say that Carbonara is extremely good but also not a light bite: you have it because it's so delicious while feeling overly satisfied right after. Let's screw our diet, it's Sunday after all. You all enjoy. ✌👽

[@Brandon-mv7fz]

It's crazy that you say that, because today is a Sunday that I have watched this video, and I will be making carbonara tonight.

The dedication and joy you put into showcasing amazing prodotti, the appreciation you give them, and finally, savoring it all with pure gusto! Grazie for all the incredible effort you put in!

I read an article in a travel magazine several years ago that explained this version of Carbonara. It said according to the Romans there is NO CREAM!! This was a new concept to me at the time. I tried it and never looked back. I do not care for Pecorino Romano and the article suggested Piave Vecchio as an alternate cheese. It's so delicious! Your videos are incredible! I love to binge watch them. :)

[@MileZeroKitchen]

[@GregCurtin45]

Thank you sir. Every day is better with one of your Italian food recipes. #Carbonara Most definitely a Chianti or something from Croatia. A former neighbour, Bruno carchidi (from Calabria) made his own liqueur that had strong cherry notes and two shots of that and I would be on the floor. A good rule to live by is make friends with someone from Italy and you will always eat and drink well. I've always enjoyed red wine but I have a chilled white frascati and it was a perfect summer wine for the hot weather. Appreciate all your creative work in filming, editing, and adding subtitles.

[@CrystalStearOfTheCas]

I do my best to follow your recipes. Now that I am a pretty decent cook when it comes to dough and understand most of the variables I can usually get pretty close to the result, but never exactly as great as yours. Carbonara is of course much easier than Ciabatta or Pizza once you get the right ingredients and know where NOT to fail, but still, I can confidently say : I do this dish as well and as "perfectly" (if such a thing exists in the kitchen) as you. This brings me great pride! When I saw your video pop up I thought "How can he make this even better?", well you can't but that's because Carbonara is already a perfect dish! Just a question/remark : My guanciale is usually the same size as yours, (maybe just a tinny tiny bit thicker) but I render it WAY longer than 5 minutes, around 12 to 15 I'd say. I think I do it at a lower temp because the final result looks like yours. The texture is heavenly, like a .... meringue? It just caves in with almost no chew. Is yours closer to fattier lardons / bacon or do you achieve the same result in a shorter time? I guess it's just preference but because only guanciale can give you this texture, I would not want it any other way! Thanks again for the video, you've really perfected your visual style and pacing!

[@MileZeroKitchen]

Medium flame, stir frequently, then turn off and leave it there for a bit while the pasta cooks! Thanks for the comment!

[@InoRobert]

Sotto il video di una carbonara perfetta come questa, su un altro canale, si son precipitati a scrivere commenti del tipo "troppi tuorli per una persona!"... Gente che prepara la carbonara con panna, funghi e prezzemolo, si lamentavano dei tuorli, a loro avviso, in eccesso. Ottimo lavoro come sempre, mai ricetta fu più corretta. Ps dall'anteprima del video pensavo avessi usato 4 uova intere e m'era preso un coccolone, fortunatamente fai dei video stupendi che poi uno li guarda fino alla fine e si accorge d'essere in errore 😅

[@MileZeroKitchen]

[@Do6go]

This is very fresh guanciale. I envy the US because processed meats and cheeses are so easy and cheap to get in there. In Japan, Italian guanciale can only be purchased frozen, so it's very dry, the skin is hard, and it's not fresh at all. Furthermore, due to the African swine fever outbreak in Italy, imports of Italian pork will be banned in Japan from 2022. Even now, Italian guanciale and pancetta are not available in Japan. I can't wait for imports of Italian guanciale to resume. Unlike the authentic Italy, long pasta is the mainstream in Japan, so the carbonara I make uses 2.4mm in Mancini. By the way, in Japan, Manchini's 2.4mm 1kg is very expensive at $ 12.

[@DariusKind]

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

[@seb0rn739]

I would use less guanciale. Have of that block is more than enough. Stuff is expensive. Also, put in the cold pan, not a a hot one. If the pan is cold in the beginning and slowly heats up, the fat from the ham is released better and you get a smoother texture in the end and more rendered fat becomes part of the emulsion giving the sauce more flavour. Otherwise great!

[@perotinofhackensack2064]

Dani, I am cooking this for 7 people. What are my ratios? 28 egg yolks ? Can I cook it in one large pot?? It will be a special Christmas time dinner

[@MileZeroKitchen]

Mine is a little exaggerated to have more egg cream. I’d do at least two egg yolks per person and add a final whole egg to loosen up a bit the consistency. Add the pecorino, make the cream, add some pasta water to whip up the pasta off fire. You should be golden! ❤️

[@perotinofhackensack2064]

Thank you. My previous attempts at this were following people who did that bain Marie thing, the boiling water and then you wisk your eggs over that gentle heat to slightly cook them. Your method is easier and less equipment. I think people are worried about salmonella but probably that worry is not as warranted, today. Great videos. Streamlined cooking method!

4 egg yolks and 100g guanciale for 100g pasta is way off from a regular carbonara. If someone wants to give this recipe a try, my suggestion is this; 40g pecorino + 50g guanciale + 1 egg yolk per 100g dry pasta (this I use as the portion size for 1 person).
