Improvised Carbonara Recipe

Ingredients

• Spaghetti/Pasta             (your choice)
• Bacon/Pancetta             (diced)
• Garlic cloves                 (minced)
• Eggs                              (beaten)
• Parmesan Cheese          (grated)
• Salt & Pepper                (to taste)
• Olive oil                        (as needed)

Instructions

1. Put the pasta in a saucepan and cook it according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside, reserving some of the pasta water.
2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bacon or pancetta and cook until it becomes crispy and browned. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic cloves and sauté it for about a minute until it becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper.
5. Put the cooked pasta in the skillet with the garlic. Pour the beaten egg mixture over the pasta while it is still hot, and toss everything together quickly. The residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce.
6. If the pasta seems dry, add a small amount of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up and create a silky sauce. You can also drizzle a teaspoon of cooking oil to overcome the dryness of the pasta.
7. Add the cooked bacon or pancetta back to the skillet and give it another toss to combine all the ingredients.
8. Taste the carbonara and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
9. Garnish the carbonara with some additional grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

Now let's move forward and answer some of your most-asked questions related to this recipe.

Is carbonara a type of pasta?

No, carbonara is not a type of pasta itself. Carbonara is a pasta dish that originated in Italy. It typically consists of pasta, such as spaghetti or bucatini, served with a sauce made from eggs, cheese (such as Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano), and cured pork (such as guanciale or pancetta). The sauce is rich, creamy, and coats the pasta, creating a delicious combination of flavors.

While carbonara can be made with various types of pasta, the most commonly used ones are spaghetti and bucatini. However, you may come across carbonara variations with other types of pasta as well. The choice of pasta can affect the texture and overall experience of the dish, but the defining characteristic of carbonara lies in its sauce, which is made from eggs, cheese, and cured pork.

Why is it called carbonara?

The name "carbonara" is derived from the Italian word "Carbone," which translates to "charcoal" or "coal." The exact origin of the name and its connection to the dish is not entirely clear, as there are several theories.

One theory suggests that the name "carbonara" refers to the black specks of freshly ground black pepper resembling coal dust. Another theory suggests that the dish was created as a hearty meal for charcoal workers (carbonai) in the Apennine Mountains, who used to make it with readily available ingredients like eggs, cured pork, and cheese.

The most widely accepted theory suggests that "carbonara" was derived from "Carbone," which was a slang term used by Italian soldiers during World War II. The soldiers referred to black market goods as "carbonara," and it is believed that the dish was named as such because it was made with ingredients that were commonly obtained through the black market during the war, such as eggs, bacon, and cheese.

Chef's Remarks: Regardless of its etymology, carbonara has become an iconic Italian pasta dish enjoyed worldwide for its rich and creamy flavors.

What is real carbonara made of?

Traditional carbonara, the authentic Italian dish, is made with the following ingredients:

- Spaghetti or bucatini pasta
- Guanciale (cured pork cheek) or pancetta (Italian bacon), diced or thinly sliced
- Eggs (typically just the yolks)
- Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
- Black pepper, freshly ground
- Salt (optional, as the cured pork and cheese are already salty)

The preparation method involves cooking the pasta until al dente, while simultaneously frying the guanciale or pancetta until crispy. In a separate bowl, the eggs are whisked together with the grated cheese and black pepper. Once the pasta is cooked and drained, it is combined with the crispy pork and then tossed with the egg mixture off the heat. The residual heat from the pasta and pork cooks the eggs, creating a creamy and velvety sauce. The dish is typically garnished with additional cheese and black pepper before serving.

Chef's Remarks: It's important to note that the authentic carbonara recipe does not include cream or garlic, as these are common additions in some variations of the dish outside of Italy.
