Pasta alla Carbonara

May 8, 2011

Pasta alla carbonara is the ultimate indulgence. You have the richness from the pancetta, the creaminess from the egg yolk, and wonderful salty flavor from Pecorino cheese. If you cannot find pancetta , you can substitute with bacon (there will be an added smoky flavor). I like to add peas. I think their sweetness complements the savory aspects of this delicious dish.

2 tablespoons butter (Olive Oil)

1/4 pound pancetta, cubed (Guanciale)

1/4 cup dry white wine

No offence meant, but I think you must be out of your mind. There is no call to use bacon, white wine (dry or otherwise), onion and, the ultimate insult, peas! Ideally you would not use Percorino either as its way too salty - and if you use Pecorino, you might wan to see the doc about your blood presuure afterwards.

The cheese to use with this recipe is Parmiggiano Reggiano, and that is why you mentioned Parmesan - which is NOT Pecorino (Romano).

And where is your lemon juice? You don't use this, you're in trouble.
