This video shows you how easy it is to make pasta carbonara at home. There's some technique involved, but I provide clear instruction every step of the way.
This delicious, creamy dish is a family favorite and it's clear why. Tons of cheese, salty cured pork, and eggs produce a rich pasta dish that's packed with flavor. An authentic carbonara has no cream and can be a bit tricky to get just right. The key is to thoroughly mix your eggs into the pasta off the heat so they don't scramble. The traditional way is to use a bowl when incorporating the egg, but it's really not necessary.
Most ribbon pastas will work for this recipe. I make spaghetti carbonara, but linguine or fettuccine are good choices as well.
