Pasta Carbonara Recipe (with the Whatever Pan) | Italian Recipe | Best Cookware
Ingredients
• 100g pancetta
• 50g pecorino cheese
• 50g parmesan
• 3 large eggs yolks
• 350g spaghetti
• 50g unsalted butter
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
Method
• Put a large saucepan of water on to boil.
• Finely chop the pancetta, finely grate the pecorino cheese and parmesan and mix them together.
• While the spaghetti is cooking, fry the pancetta. Drop unsalted butter into your Whatever Pan and, as soon as the butter has melted, tip in the pancetta.
• Leave to cook on a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the pancetta is golden and crisp.
• Keep the heat under the pancetta on low. When the pasta is ready, put it in the Whatever Pan with the pancetta. Don’t worry if a little water drops in the pan as well (you want this to happen) and don’t throw the pasta water away yet.
• Beat the 3 large egg yolks in a medium bowl and add the parmesan and pecorino cheese (keeping a small handful back for sprinkling over later).
• Take the pan of spaghetti and pancetta off the heat. Now quickly pour in the eggs and cheese. Using the tongs or a long fork, lift up the spaghetti so it mixes easily with the egg mixture, which thickens but doesn’t scramble, and everything is coated.
• Add extra pasta cooking water to keep it saucy (several tablespoons should do it). You don’t want it wet, just moist.
• Season with pepper and enjoy!

Simple Pastas: Spaghetti Carbonara
My daughter Tanya and I prepare some delicious Spaghetti Carbonara. This recipe is definitely a crowd pleaser and it has some of the flavors loved most by Americans: bacon, eggs, cheese, and of course pasta.
Gennaro Contaldo's Authentic Italian Spaghetti Carbonara | Citalia
Spaghetti Carbonara is thought to originate in the Lazio region of Italy, first made for the carbonari (charcoal workers) and is an authentic recipe, now popular the world over. Perhaps one of the easiest and quickest Italian pasta recipes, a Spaghetti Carbonara can be rustled up at home for a tasty week night supper.
In Genaro’s authentic recipe, he uses guanchiale (pig cheek) rather than the pancetta that we might use at home, however pancetta is a perfectly acceptable substitute if you don’t have a good Italian deli near to you.
Although British versions of this dish often include cream, Gennaro’s classic recipe uses just seasoned pasta water, fresh egg yolks and pecorino cheese to create that delicious, creamy texture that you will know and love.
Gennaro has fond memories of eating Carbonara in the backstreet trattorie of Italy’s capital city, Rome. With so much to see and do in the Eternal City, including the Vatican, Colosseum, Spanish Steps and the Roman Forum, Rome makes a perfect destination for a city break, not to mention the ideal introduction to Italy for first time visitors.

Ingredients
4 x servings
1 x tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
200g piece Guanciale (pork cheek), roughly chopped into small strips
4 x large free-range egg yolks
75g grated pecorino & extra for sprinkling
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
400g spaghetti
Method
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti until “al dente.”
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan, add the guanciale and on a medium heat stir fry until crispy.
In a small bowl beat egg yolks with pecorino, some salt & pepper. Set aside.
Drain the spaghetti, reserving some of the pasta water, add the spaghetti to the pan of guanciale, with a little of the pasta water and mix well. Remove pan from the heat, stir in the egg mixture, adding more cooking water if necessary. Serve immediately with some grated pecorino and freshly ground black pepper.
King of Carbonara shares his Pasta Recipe - Food in Rome
A visit to Luciano Cucina Italiana in Rome, Italy, to watch Chef Monosilio preparing Spaghetti Carbonara, his signature dish, which brought him the nickname King of Carbonara. Receiving a Michelin Star at the sweet age of 27 years, he later decided to open a more casual style restaurant which is his current Luciano Cucina Italiana in the Centre of Rome -

Here is the Original Carbonara Recipe from the business card I got in 2022 at Luciano - Cucina Italiana in Rome.
Ingredients :
--------------------
280g spaghetti
4 egg yolks
200g guanciale in 1cm cubes
30g grana padano, grated
20g pecorino romano, grated
Instructions :
---------------------
Cook pasta in boiling water like mentioned on package.
Frying little guanciale cubes in order to make them crispy outside and soft inside.
Whisk in a bowl the egg yolks, the grana padano, the pecorino and the melted fat obtained from frying guanciale.
Let this mixture rest.
Once pasta is cooked, mix? (mantecarla) the mixture, ground pepper, and the little cubes of guanciale in a bowl, add a little warm water, and mix to get it creamy.
Plate the pasta, springkle pecorino cheese oon top, and grrind fresh pepper too.
Serve at the right temperature, not too hot, not too cold, tepid.
Now, below are my personal notes on how to really make carbonara pasta like Luciano Monosilio.
------------------------------------
EGGS :
70g pasta per person seems a good amount since the ddish is very rich.
Use only egg yolks (1 per person) if you want a richer, yelower colour, or use whole eggs if you want it a little more traditional.
PASTA :
Spaghettoni, thick spaghetti are prefered to spaghetti. They take longer to cook, it gives you more time to cook the sauce PLUS they are hardder to overcook. Worst you could do is cappelli, vermicelli. They would mush and soak up too much sauce anyways.
Pasta pot should be wide more than tall, especially for cooking spaghetti/oni. Underseason the water ( a pinch is plenty). Water level should be 1/2 inch (1cm) over pasta. Stirring is mandatory. Undercook pasta by 2-3 minutes, this will compensate for the amount of time they spend in the bain marie afterwards.
MEAT :
Luciano cuts guanciale in cubes, not matchsticks. The card says 1cm cubes but it’s more than that. At least 1/2 inch / 1.5 cm if not 2, as they shrink a bit during frying. If you’ve ever cooked steak before, you know that obtaining perfect medium rare center is easier with a thicker piece. Overcook = dry. Cooked right = juicy.
Don’t go high heat. Pork fat has a low smoking point. Also, the chunks are too big for this they would be burnt outside and raw inside. Go Medium high to sear first, and then low. Once they are crispy on the outside, get them off the heat. Room temperature is fine. Keep all that melted guanciale fat, we’re gonna need HALF OF IT, not all of it, for the sauce later on.
BAIN MARIE / DOUBLE BOILER METHOD :
Ingredients mix better if they are warm, and using a double boiler instead of just a frying pan, means it will be more gentle. We’ll have more control, and we’ll be able to stay below 65°C where eggs start cooking and cheese start creating lumps. Large heatproof bowl over simmering water, the bottom of the bowl can't touch water?
Whisk hard to mimick the SABAYON technique. SABAYON is a foamy custardy dessert where eggs are whisked over a bain marie. This dish really is about the light/foamy/airy texture. Air bubbles enhance sensory properties.
As you whisk : Drizzle pork fat in there. This is the same proccess as for HOLLANDAISE SAUCE. By gradually incorporating fat you create an foamy emulsion. Holanlldaise uses clarified butter but here it’s pork fat.
The rest you can most likely get it from my video. Practice. Practice and Hang in there. You got this !
