Traditional Carbonara! #shorts #fyp #pasta #food #italian #cooking #cheese #trending



Ingredients
1 cup cubed guanciale
2 Tbsp whole peppercorns
4 egg yokes
2/3 cup pecorino romano grated
2/3 cup parmigiano reggiano finely grated
8 oz pasta dried spaghetti
salt to taste (if needed)

Method:
To a cold pan add your cubed guanciale. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring often for 6-8 minutes or until brown and crispy. Remove guanciale with a slotted spoon and save the fat.
To a frying pan over medium high heat, add your peppercorns and toast tossing often for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Transfer to a mortar and grind until a fine powder. Set aside.

To a bowl, add egg yokes, grated cheese, 1 Tbsp guanciale fat, and a pinch of the toasted pepper. Mix until a thick paste.

To a pot of boiling water, add your pasta and cook to package directions. Make sure to save some pasta water!

In a double- boiler, add your cooked pasta and the egg mixture. While mixing vigorously, slowly add your pasta water until a creamy sauce forms. Add your guanciale and mix until evenly distributed. Serve a generous portion on a plate and top with more guanciale, freshly grated parmesan cheese and enjoy!

  1. The biggest scam of carbonara is making you believe the fancy pork belly actually matters lol, it's gonna be rendered and cooked anyways, cheap pork belly or lardons is good enough.

    The taste comes from the egg yolk cheese mixture and quality only matters here.

    Also alfredo >>>>> carbonara anyday

  2. Excellent recipe and very well executed.

    I'm so happy to see small content creators daring to create videos with great value. Going against the majority who seek to be a "vague" influencer and conveying a good idea. Keep going, you'll soon be creating your own recipes and combining the flavors you like best (if you don't already and this video is old).

    Cheers
