La dolce vita! 🇮🇹🍷 Our buyer Leo shares his ultimate carbonara recipe, perfectly paired with a classic Italian wine. Bring a true taste of Italy to your table this weekend. 🍝✨

Carbonara. That’s my go-to pasta. You need guanchal. You have the eggs. High quality peorino romano. Also high quality pasta. Make sure that you use only the yolk for the majority of the eggs. And then maybe one you can use also the white. And then you whisk it together. You mix it up with pecorino cheese and you add black pepper. The guanchal needs to be cooked crispy. So you’re going to keep it on the side and use it at the end. But the key is to add the fatness of the guanchal to the mix. When the pasta is ready, you want to put it in the pan with the oiliness of the guanchal only. You cannot put the eggs on the flame. When is al dente is ready, you take it off the fire and then you add the mixture of the eggs that you prepared on the side. And then when it becomes creamy and ready, then you put it in a plate. And then on the top, you garnish with the bench that you’ve taken on the side. And then in the end, a little grating of pecorino on the top. What would you pair with carbonara? Roma do white is the perfect match. It’s classic.
