How to Make a Roman Carbonara at Home

See on Scoop.it - La Cucina Italiana - De Italiaanse Keuken - The Italian Kitchen



The ‘Carbonara’ is one dish we stranieri, or foreigners, tend to mess up alla grande when we try to replicate it at home. The most common mistake is adding cream and ending up with some gluggy, heavy concoction that has nothing to do with this beloved Roman classic.




This is the type of dish that will make your eyes water, your stomach groan in delight; your weirdo neighbor who always blames you for not differentiating your rubbish will suddenly turn sycophantic, drawn to your door by that rich salty aroma.




If you’re an expat living here in Rome, BUY GUANCIALE. It is worth it. If you’re a tourist just passing through… what can I say… at least find some pancetta in your home town and please attempt avoiding generic bacon.
