Spaghetti Pasta Carbonara is one of the most representative dishes of Italian cuisine, an emblematic recipe that summarizes the philosophy in full: with a few, simple, beautiful ingredients you can make a dish masterpiece.
The carbonara is a pasta seasoned with guanciale, pepper, pecorino cheese and eggs beaten with other pepper, which must be cooked with the heat of the pasta in the pan.
Today we propose the original Roman recipe of pasta alla carbonara, where the guanciale is the master, in fact, the taste, the fat, we could say the juice of the condiment comes from this little jewel of the art of Norcia.
