The First Carbonara Recipe Ever Written



Where is Carbonara REALLY from?

That’s a hard question to answer, because there are lots of stories about when and where carbonara began. BUT the first recipe for carbonara is a fact that hopefully we can all agree on.

Here is the actual recipe from chefs Armando Lorenzini and Pierre Lencioni as it first appeared in “Vittles and Vice” by Patricia Bronté in 1952.

Boil 1 ½ lbs of Tagliarini (thin wide noodles) according to the directions on the package.
Meanwhile, chop and fry ½ pound of Mezzina (Italian Bacon).
Drain the noodles and the bacon.
Take 4 eggs and ¼ pound of grated Parmesan Cheese and lightly whip together.
Mix everything together and toss over a flame.
Serves four

  2. Matthew 7:21-23

    21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

    Jesus went on that cross to pay the penalty of our sins. Repent of your sins before it's too late. The time is coming and Jesus WILL return and he will save his people from the coming judgments.

    God bless you

  3. OK, you want pasta carbonara to be an American first born in Chicago? Fine, as long as you keep eating it. Finally, when you ask for carbonara, the waiter's first thought will be of Italy and not Chicago. Chauvinism in the kitchen doesn't cook pasta and pancetta(bacon), eggs don't …..

  4. For anyone, Barilla made a short movie about the history of carbonara, go look for it! Awesome video by the way! As a roman, it was so nice to hear all the little carbonara variations that all the different families witheld and to confront them! Before social network came with the invention of a "true" carbonara nobody would discuss the different recipes from different nonnis, they were just their own original version!
