Bucatini Carbonara
RECIPE COURTESY OF GUY FIERI
Level: Easy
Total: 30 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups 1/4-inch diced pancetta
1 cup 1/4-inch diced yellow onion
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
5 large eggs
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 pound bucatini pasta
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

Directions

Cook the pancetta in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp and the fat has rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Add the onions to the pan with the drippings and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and then reduce the heat to keep warm.

Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a large bowl (reserve the whites to use in another recipe). Whisk together the egg yolks and half the Parmigiano-Reggiano and season with salt and pepper. Add the egg mixture to a large stainless bowl with the onions and mix well.

Cook the pasta in salted, boiling water until al dente (according to pasta directions). When the pasta is just about finished, strain the pasta and transfer directly from the pot of water to the mixing bowl with the onions. Using tongs, mix well so the egg mixture coats the pasta evenly and cooks from the residual heat. Add about 3/4 cup of pasta water to fortify the sauce. Fold in the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano, crisped pancetta (reserve a little for garnish) and season with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved pancetta and parsley.

  1. This isn't "traditional" carbonara (there should never be onions in there, for example, and Pecorino Romano is supposed to be the featured cheese), but it is much closer than what I see a lot of restaurants try to do. Most restaurants now just make a (disgusting) alfredo knock-off and call it carbonara.

  2. The wannabe food guru Guy Fieri rubbing shoulders with the wannabe dictator Donald Trump… and just like that Fieri's career is over! And by his own hand, no less. Mind-boggling!

  3. G U A N C I A L E bro. Not Pancetta.

    Oh, and who the f** put's onion in Carbonara?

  4. Woke up on this fine Saturday morning and going to head to our local Italian grocery to get some quality pancetta and cheese.. never made it…never had it, but guess whats coming to the supper table to night y'all. Have a great weekend.

  5. Carbonara is simply another take on bacon and eggs but instead of toast you have pasta. Viola!

  6. Guy may be a great chef, and I admire his cooking and his cooking shows, but this carbonara recipe is a real disaster. Three cardinals sins, 1-onions is a no no no. 2- parsley, really… Italians nonas are turning in their graves and the worst is is yet to come, cardinal sin 3 – where the hell is the cracked pepper……. This is not a carbonara but some some American crap, what ever name you want to call it but not Carbonara. Need to go back to culinary school.

  7. guancale is better than pancetta and it also needs pepper no onion and pecorino not reggiano

  8. I like it, but it should be guanciale , instead of pancetta, ideally, but guanciale can be a royal PitA to find in some places. Likewise using parmesan instead of Pecorino Romano. Technically wrong, but it's workable if you don't have pecorino. Bigger issue for me is the lack of black pepper. Shoudl be a goodly amount.

    I don't mind the onion, but it's not "correct" for authentic carbonara. Bucatini is my fave pasta.. and that is the brand I use. So aside from those complaints from and "authentic Italian" version standpoint.. still looks delicious, and at least stays true to the spirit.

  9. Traditional is Guanciale not Panchetta for the meat, Pecorino for the cheese, no little green bits, Black Pepper and egg yolks only and no onion. Go ask an Italian from Italy not a 2nd or 3rd generation cook that keeps modifying Grandmas recipe because obviously he knows better.

  10. 8:19 my dad would always say that, never walk away from your food when your cooking. Not just for fire safety, it goes deeper then that.

  11. Looks good, but onions in carbonara?? I love it and have eaten it in many times in Italy, onions not happening, a step not needed. But I guess if you like it, just not traditional.

  12. Love your food shows and yet this time while appreciating its your variant, it doesn't look that beautifully creamy and suggest some of the ingredients are modern versions. Traditional and I would challenge the best carbonara has 5 ingredients as spaghetti, guanciale ( pig cheek as cured not smoked), black pepper, pecorino Romano ( its a sheep cheese which is harder and saltier than cow cheese Parmesan) and beaten full eggs and there is actually one ingredient missing, salted water that you cook the pasta in but then you use to infuse the guanciale fat and to cream up the egg/pecorino cheese. This is a food specialty from Rome, so when in Rome do as the Romans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvO8UPbIH30

  16. Forgot the red pepper flakes but man that looked good. It's how I make it at home too. No cream, all love.

  17. Hey Guy! Just wanted to say hello from Santa Rosa. My daughter and I used to eat at Johnny Garlic’s at least 3-4 times a week and you always treated us so well. You’d remember us if you saw us again. Glad you’re doing so well. You deserve it. Love your food!💕
