The Creamiest Carbonara You've Ever Seen in 2021!

🍝The secret to the creaminess of this carbonara lies in using pecorino cheese and a generous amount of eggs.

🌶️The carbonara is topped with a mountain of black pepper, which adds a delicious kick to the dish.

🥓The guanciale, or pork cheek, is the key ingredient that gives the carbonara its rich and distinctive flavor.

🔥Cooking the guanciale slowly on low heat allows it to become crispy and tender, adding texture to the dish.

🍴Tossing the pasta with the guanciale and egg mixture ensures that every strand of spaghetti is coated in the creamy sauce.

Can I use pancetta instead of guanciale?

—Yes, pancetta is a good substitute for guanciale if you can't find it. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.

Do I need to add salt to the pasta water?

—No, there's no need to add salt to the pasta water as pecorino cheese is already salty enough.

How can I make the carbonara vegetarian?

—You can substitute the guanciale with vegetarian options such as zucchini or prawns. Just be creative!

Can I use spaghetti instead of spaghetti cuadrati?

—Yes, spaghetti cuadrati is a specialty pasta, but regular spaghetti works just fine in this recipe.

How long does it take to make this carbonara?

—It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and cook this carbonara, making it a quick and easy meal option.
