my family requested a carbonara today for lunch and I delivered, not lookwise but tastewise yes. I still have to practice my sauce to make it more creamy, but I'd say this is an achievement compared to my previous attempts lol. the whole family liked it so I'm super glad either way that I managed to make it good without screwing up! if you have any advice on how to improve I'm all ears!

The guanciale looks perfect!! It might not be creamy enough but it still looks tasty!! try upping the ratio, it’s 1 egg yolk per portion + one for the bowl, cheese (pecorino or parmigiano, I personally prefer parmigiano but my fellow Romans might disagree/have a stroke), little black pepper and salt, and pasteurize the cream ( I usually water bath the egg bowl in the boiling water pot while whisking it for 3/5 minutes)… I’ve seen watery creams, burnt guanciale and layers of black pepper in restaurants in Rome..you are on the right path!!
