  • About

So simple at first glance and yet so intricate, carbonara is more of a ritual than a dish. The twist here is gently cooking the eggs and cheese on a double boiler before combining them with the pasta, giving you a smooth sauce every time, with no raw or scrambled eggs in sight.

Ingredients

  • 400 g guanciale, diced
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 egg yolks
  • <

Method

Gently fry the guanciale on a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the fat is rendered and the guanciale has crisped up to perfection. Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry on kitchen paper. Throw away half of the leftover fat and set aside the rest.

Whisk the eggs and extra egg yolks with the grated cheeses in a large heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water

It tastes very good, and is easy to cook.

We added mushrooms, which might be not authentic, but it added more “umami”.
