We challenged three of our esteemed chefs – Carla Lalli Music, Chris Morocco and Sohla El-Waylly — to each make different versions of the same dish: pasta carbonara. While each variant has to be similar in some ways (porky, cheesy, salty, etc.), each chef was assigned a different interpretation to cook up: traditional, modern and experimental. Which one would you want to try? FYI you’re allowed to say all three.
Check out the traditional recipe here:
We took a deep dive into traditional carbonara, tracing it back to its roots as a peasant dish made with pantry ingredients, and re-considered every factor. The result? Less pasta, more crispy-chewy strips of guanciale, and more silky creamy egg to hold it all together.

Chris’s dish looks gross
love the cooks, but really disliked this experimental order where every recipe was merged together by stages. i will not cook any of the recipes bc it‘s not easy to just follow along :/
I dont care what anyone says, FARM CHICKENS AND EGGS > FACTORY. Flavor is amazing and it feels so much better to know you arent eating an abused animal <3
Siri: Okay, playing This is War by 30 Seconds to Mars.
Parmigian ice cream? Check out tasting history with max miller. Actually really good.
Take a drink everytime one of these folk says, "like."
You'll be, like, pissed in no time.
Butter and garlic:how can kill an italian!!!! Mamma mia 🙁
That traditional carbonara is so good, I can almost taste how good it must taste.. the other two, for me, are just not carbonara at all.. I mean, they are related, like chimps, limas and humans are related.. but they are no carbonara
Ma, il tradizionale è fantastico!
Brava!
This comment aged so well lol 😆
Carbonara was 'created' by poor coal miners who had nothing but eggs, salted/cured pork (guanciale), cheese and dried pasta. Northern Italy had nothing but cattles and chickens due to harsh summer weathers which made it almost impossible to grow things compared to Southern, hence the amazing cheese, eggs (and more dried egg pastas to outstand the creamy, cheesy sauces) and cured meat. Interesting how geography affects food even within the same country.
THEY ABSOLUTELY ROCKED THIS
So many wrong info in this video. Stay away!
don't mind me skipping the other two to get to sohla's bits
Why doesn't Chris want any joy?
I would really love to know what green nail polish Carla is wearing
There's no parm in a traditional cabonara
these people are so happy, food is love
I’ve been eating cheese ice cream since I was a kid XD
All three chefs are so entertaining and inspiring. I like their different personalities shining through in their cooking.
This was the golden age of this channel
thought it was a moppets add at first
I just skip through Chris’s pretentiousness, I can’t stand it!!!!
I would watch these videos if they lasted 10 minutes or so… 30 minutes is just too long
the traditional one is too watery, but it's almost perfect (except for the parmesan)
These lads insistently saying raviolo in every sentence is very jarring to my European ear. Just letting you know.
Year later and I'm back for the coffee/metal montage
I wonder what Alex the French guy would think about this
Nothing is carbonara about all of this, pure dissapointment.
Bro she fried Noodles lmao. That’s so tight.
I must now make egg yolk ice cream. BRB.
[ 5:50 ] here you go bud 🤚>🙏 yay! high five
19:23 sounds like shola doing rap with the beats
Enjoy all of them so much!
Anyone else googled the Lazio region of Italy and immediately started planning a vacation 35 seconds into the video? Just me? Oh ok 😂
Used to watch this video and love Chris’ quirky adorableness. Now it just hits different
can we acknowledge that no one in the teste kitchen knows how to use the dehydrator
I want Chris’ recipe
The idea of calling Chris' Carbonara a 'Modern' version is an absolute joke. What he did is carbonara inspired. Garlic smh..
The first 30 seconds of the cheese section is sooo good.
Chris is a such a coddled baby
Never understand crimping the bacon or guanciale and then sticking it on steaming pasta and sauce. I used the drippings for flavor and then sprinkle the crispy pork on top with parsley and lemon zest. Everyone is surprised but rave for it.
SOMEONE GIVE MATT A HIGH FIVE RIGHT NOW
I want vincenzo crying and nagging these 3 disasters
carbonara goes with spaghetti, if you are not using spaghetti is not traditional. if you are not using guanciale is not traditional.
