Carbonara is one of Rome’s most beloved pasta dishes, known for its rich, creamy texture – without a drop of cream! This recipe dates back to the mid-20th century, with theories linking it to Italian charcoal workers (“carbonai”) or American soldiers in Italy after WWII, who brought a taste for eggs and bacon.
The real Pasta alla Carbonara is made with just four key ingredients: guanciale (cured pork cheek), Pecorino Romano cheese, egg yolks, and black pepper – no garlic, no onion, and definitely no cream! The secret lies in emulsifying the eggs and cheese with the hot pasta water, creating a silky sauce that clings perfectly to the spaghetti.
Follow this authentic Roman recipe to enjoy Carbonara as it was meant to be – simple, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. Buon appetito!
