How to Make Authentic Pasta Carbonara | The Stay At Home Chef

If you had carbonara in Rome it is most likely they used guanciale not pancetta. Today, most Italian food stores carry guanciale now and even supermarkets carry pancetta, I would use that before using bacon. Most bacon is smoked, and adds a different flavor and is not authentic to carbonara.

Great recipe! It's simple and delicious. My family loves it!

Your recipe gives me a better idea of how to get the eggs tempered .... I appreciate it! I'm going to make this tonight.

I made it this weekend and I'm going make it again this week. It was delicious, easy and just soooooo yummy

I’m surprised there’s no garlic 😮

Had this at a restaurant now. I want to make it. Delicious ‼️

Sweetie, Authentic Carbonara is made with guanciale (pig cheek) never bacon!
Pancetta? if there is no guanciale available.

Made this today. Really great! Thank you for the recipe.

I have to try this. It looks really good.

Mmm! When I want to make a dish, I always search for a recipe from you gals first. And…..now I will make Pasta Carbonara!

Man, you’re chatting a lot! Can you get right to the recipe?

P++0+0+

Next time don't fucking use parsley

Thank you 😋👍❤️🌹🌹

followed your video & it turned out great! thank you!!!

Not bad, but this isn’t authentic carbonara in the traditional sense. Traditional uses guanchiale and no herbs.

I made your carbonara tonight and was amazing. Its really delicious. Thank you

You need to stress the importance of a lot of black pepper for a true carbonara....

I made this today, your recipe is easy to follow and it’s so yummy. Thank you!

Wow, so many nasty comments! 😳
Not cool people! 🤨

Hope you hit your 1 million. So deserved

I like your accent

American carbonara ))))

Why not use cream?

Why did you not use Guanciale? With bacon seems like it would not bring enough flavor??

Never use bacon. Always use guanciale or pancetta. If you cant get guanciale or pancetta use prosciutto as a last resort. Other than that everything was correct.

Parsley omfg whyyyyyyyyy.

😋 Yes, Please! Thank You so much for the recipe. This looks so good. I have some Wright’s Bacon. ❤️

... parsley

I’m a bit confused, do the eggs get cooked properly? I don’t want to risk getting sick

I'm making this tonight!

This is not authentic! It should not have parsley. Guanciale is a must not bacon!

Looks great! Just wish you’d have used Guanciale or pancetta instead of bacon.

it should me home made pasta. is is not good.

Preserving pasta water was a good trick. Great work 😀

Mmmm bacon grease...

I always thought pasta carbonara had cream in it.

No parsley, please!

VERY SIMPLE 😍😍😍😍

Great but no parsley to keep it authentic

I suppose if I was doing a video on "authentic" carbonara, I would have at least mentioned that, for most Italians, the preferred meat is Guanciale over Pancetta, and smoked bacon is not even an option. But I totally get that in the US, Guanciale is not an option for most of us, unless you order it from some specialty house and pay an arm and a leg for it.

I know what you cooked here is delicious. I love Carbonara with bacon. But I've also tried making it JUST the way the Italian chefs teach - with Guanciale and Pecorino rather than smoked bacon and Parmesan, no garlic, no parsley, just lots of pepper and cheese - and it is something quite different... something everyone should experience at least once! (By the way, I know your recipe doesn't call for Parmesan or garlic, but a lot of Carbonara recipes published by Americans typically do.)

Guanciale is traditionally used for the Carbonara, if no guanciale, pancetta, if no pancetta, use bacon.. about the cheese, it's perfect. For those who find the pecorino romano too strong, it can be mixed with parmigiano.. and of course, black pepper, enough, no parsley or herbs..
Thank you for your nice recipe, I think an Italian chef would appreciate it as well.. 😀

Authentic would be made with Guanciale, pork jowl. It makes a huge difference. Yes it's better than bacon.

Did she say noodles... and bacon?

Love 😍 the way you describe your recipe. Love the way you speak and give directions Thank you

Thank you! Your instruction is very easy to follow. Taste amazing! Subscribed and will go through your other videos.

Non ci siamo bellina! Da romano ti dico👎🏻

Made this tonight for my family and it was a hit! Thanks for easy to follow instructions!

How did you miss that this was created for WWII soldiers who missed their bacon and eggs? Did you do any research at all?
