I had no Pecorino and no Guanciale, but I had Parmesan and Pancetta. Does this can stop me from making Carbonara? Hell no! Original? Not really (but we can open a discussion if tou want) Tasty? Oh hell yea it was!!!

I think it’s fair. Italian cooking in particular can be very purist but you have the basic gist of it and it looks good. We should not gate keep the ‘perfect’ carbonara for it only to count. Pasta, cheese, egg yolk and bacon is amazkng (but where I grew up we added mushrooms), and for me that’s my version of the dish 👌😂
