That’s sarcasm by the way and I wanna be a brave non-Italian and come here and show my attempt at carbonara. Please don’t get mad at me for using bucatini pasta (I thought the thicker noodle would be more fun of a chew), don’t yell at me for using pecorino -Romano and Parmesan cheese. Worst of all…I had to use thick cut pancetta from the deli because all the Florida stores ran out of guanciale. This is all in good fun and it’s just food

    Not bad, I approve 👍 (and bucatini are one of the shapes traditionally used for carbonara).

    I’ve seen more than a few Italians make carbonara with bucatini, and nonna’s using Parmigiano ánd Pecorino. Also, looks great!

    Whilst I might appreciate this a litttttle bit more saucy, this is one of those times where attention to technique and method trumps the ingredients used.

    Bucatini are the #1 choice of long pasta for carbonara and most other Roman pastas.

    Looks delicious!

    The carbonara recipe in my 1997 edition of il cucchiaio d’argento calls for pancetta and parmigiano (and butter and garlic), so I see no need for you to apologize for your preparation.

    You made a great-looking dish!
