I prepared it with Guanciale, which is the real ingredient (not bacon). What you think? ☺️ My belly enjoyed it very much!!!😍

Interesting that you choose Parmigiano over pecorino Romano if aiming for authenticity, but it does look great!

Boy, people on this sub are really horrible. Egg is a bit overdone, but I bet it tasted great anyways – Good job!

I would have made the pasta(dough) myself too, but since you’ve picked a respectable brand and you’ve prepared it the write way. I am willing to let that slide.
Seem delicious 👍😋🤤

I watched a lot of videos on Youtube before making my very first own carbonara. Your heat is way too much and you got scrambled eggs.

Oh that looks delicious! I like the pics of the ingredients and the process. Very nice! ❤️
People here really are rude with their “advice”. I wish this sub would allow a bit more kindness, instead of rude elitism. Insults are not going to help anyone, you’re just circlejerking over how superior you are.
Anyway, you are feeding yourself, and you’re cooking and putting in the work, and that demands respect. You might not have gotten the technique right, but that is something you can always learn along the way. The eggs are definitely scrambled, you might want to revisit the technique for carbonara again. It is really simple:
> fry the guanciale > grate the pecorino romano > mix egg yolks with pecorino and black pepper > Add pasta with some pasta water into the pan with the guanciale > emulsify by stirring strongly, then take the pan off the heat and add the egg-mixture > give it another vigorous stir, and serve immediately (Full disclosure, there is like a hundred other techniques, with pre-tempering of the egg, mixing the fat into the mixture beforehand, yada yada. This is the “easy” way.)
The eggs don’t need to be fully cooked, as long as they are fresh. The creaminess of the egg-cheese-starch-water emulsion is what makes carbonara so great, so don’t hesitate to give it a try. If you are worried about salmonella, you can try to go for pasteurized eggs instead, they are salmonella safe.

Oh you poor sweet thing… scramble the eggs and mix in the pecorino…. Once you take the pasta off the heat at the very end, toss in the egg while it’s hot but not cooking. You’ll yield a fat creamier texture.

Angry nonna noise in the background…Lol. Glad you tried it yourself and you enjoyed it. Also, if you’d like to get closer to authenticity, there’s room for improvement here and there 😊

Egg is certainly overcooked, but I guess its still delicious. When you have this problem i would recommend to temper egg – pecorino mixture with a bit of hot pasta water, before adding it back to cooked pasta.
