Carbonara (real)
Instructions
Prep:5minCook:15min
Recipe video above. These days, so many carbonara recipes cheat with cream which is a shame. The traditional method uses raw egg which is mixed vigorously with hot pasta and parmigiana reggiano cheese which transforms into a silky, creamy, luxurious sauce unlike anything you've ever had before. Arguably the best pasta dish in the whole world!This is a pasta that must be eaten straight away to truly experience its magnificence. Serve in warm bowls!
