  1. The oil is heated, and small cubes of garlic (3-4 cloves) are fried on it.
  2. Next, a straw of ham is sent to the pan. If the product is oily, the amount of oil should be reduced to a minimum.
  3. Pasta is slightly undercooked.
  4. For the sauce, the yolks, cream, finely grated cheese, salt are combined. You can add a little ground pepper.

  3. The mass in a pan is sprinkled with chopped thyme, salted, and pepper. Cream is pouring in there. Everything is mixed up.
  4. Separately, pasta is boiled and laid out in a pan. It is desirable that they turn out slightly undercooked. The side dish will reach the desired state in hot sauce.

The treat is laid out on plates and only after that is sprinkled with finely grated cheese.

Cooking in a slow cooker

Ingredients: 260 g of spaghetti, 160 g of parmesan, onion, a pinch of basil, 220 g of smoked brisket, a full glass of cream of medium fat content, garlic to taste, half a liter of water, egg, salt, pepper mixture.

It is important to pour the prepared sauce only freshly cooked and still hot pasta. Only in this case they are well saturated with the components of the fill. Pour some freshly chopped basil into the dish for flavor.

Carbonara is a great Italian pasta. It is prepared from ordinary products - eggs, bacon, cheese and, in fact, the spaghetti themselves. Only with many chefs and even chefs does the sauce treacherously sink to the bottom of the plate. I will show how to combine the sauce with the paste. According to this recipe, carbonara will always work out for you!

Food lovers often argue which of the carbonara recipes is authentic. Some insist that cream must be in the sauce, others consider it sacrilege. The confusion begins already with the genealogy: historians have not yet decided where and when this paste was born. If translated from Italian, carbonara is a paste of coal miners. According to one legend, it was loved by workers who burned wood near Rome.

According to another, little convincing version, carbonara appeared thanks to Italian-American friendship. During World War II, American soldiers arrived to defend Italy with bacon and egg powder in backpacks, and the host supplied them with pasta. Americans in their simplicity mixed pasta with fried eggs - and carbonara was born.

The legends do not end there. In 2005, an Italian magazine published an article claiming that carbonara appeared in Osteria delle Tre Corone, in the Veneto region. There once secretly met Italian opposition carbonarians, and pasta was named after them. Osteria is still working and successfully feeds guests with carbonara.

The age of carbonara is the only thing that is beyond doubt. This is a young pasta; it appeared in collections of recipes only in the middle of the 20th century. Buy good Italian durum wheat pasta for her. We need exactly spaghetti - thin long strings; silky sauce is best distributed over them. How to boil the spaghetti correctly so that they do not stick together will tell our video at the top of the page.

Throw spaghetti into a colander and in no case rinse. Be sure to keep a glass of water in which pasta was brewed. Turn this action into a habit, a “broth” can always be needed if there is not enough moisture when mixing pasta with sauce.

Who didn’t get pasta and shrimp and green peas sticking together? Intuitively, as a rule, everything is added. But so the pasta only gets fatter, and the oil destroys the taste of the sauce. The Italians are trickier, they add a little water from the paste. Then the paste turns out to be correct, moving and glistens just like the one served in trattorias on the quiet Roman streets.

While the pasta is cooked, chop the bacon. It is better, of course, to take a pancetta (it has a more concentrated taste, since the brisket is dried for a long time in the sun), but it is not sold in all stores. Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat - the fat should melt and the slices brown. If you turn the hotplate to maximum, the bacon may burn out.

Break eggs into a bowl, grate and stir. Gourmets are advised to take parmesan and sheep pecorino in half, but, believe me, after carbonara with one parmesan, you still want supplements.

The most crucial moment is to combine bacon, egg mixture and spaghetti. First add the paste to the bacon and mix with kitchen tongs. If you mixed them directly on the stove, now is the time to remove the pan from the heat. It is very important! Why? Look for the answer to this question in the main video.

The sauce should cover every millimeter of spaghetti. The heat of the paste is enough to melt the cheese and cook the eggs. You don’t think that the eggs in the carbonara remain raw ?! If the paste is sticky and does not have enough moisture, pour in a little stored "broth". At the right carbonara, the sauce glides and shines like silk.

Serve right away, carbonara can't wait. Often it is even advised to arrange on heated plates so that the paste does not cool longer. In winter, I am ready to eat carbonara at least every evening. This is a perfect, satisfying and very tasty pasta. In Russian frosts, it warms from the inside. Give it a try! Bon Appetit!

Carbonara paste

Time

Ingredients  (for 2 servings)

spaghetti - 1 pack (about 250 g)

bacon or pancetta - 75 g

hard cheese like parmesan - 50 g

eggs - 2 pcs.

yolk - 1 pc.

olive oil - 1 tbsp. a spoon

garlic - 1 clove

salt - 1 tbsp. a spoon

freshly ground black pepper - 0.5 tsp

Cooking

1. Boil water in a large saucepan (five liters minimum), add a tablespoon (or even two) of salt and put the spaghetti. Water should be pretty salty. Cook as indicated on the packaging. It is better if the paste is al dente, that is, with a white tiny dot inside.

2. Dice the bacon, chop the garlic. Place a large frying pan over medium heat, pour olive oil, add bacon and saute for 3-5 minutes. During this time, fat will drain from the bacon, and it will brown. In the middle of cooking, put the garlic. When the bacon is fried, remove the pan from the stove and close it with a lid so that it does not cool.

3. Grate the cheese on a fine grater. Break eggs into the bowl, add another yolk, pour cheese, pepper and mix.

4. Flip the pasta into a colander, keeping a glass of "broth". Then put in a bacon pan and mix with kitchen tongs. If you mixed on the stove, rearrange the pan on the kitchen table. Add egg and cheese paste - act quickly so that it turns into a sauce and covers all the spaghetti. Was the sauce too dense rather than silky? Add a few tablespoons of the broth and mix again. Serve immediately, carbonara can't wait!

A carbonara pasta recipe on the Internet is not uncommon, and the dish itself is probably one of the most recognizable in Italian cuisine. We will prepare spaghetti carbonara and you and I - of course, without adding cream, which are not found in any of the traditional recipes: this will help to achieve the right taste and silky consistency of the famous carbonara sauce. However, some changes, most likely, cannot be avoided, therefore I give recommendations for replacing authentic products with more affordable ones in the recipe text.

Spaghetti carbonara

Break a fresh chicken egg into a bowl, add two more yolks to it, season with salt and black pepper and beat slightly. Grate the cheese on a fine grater, add to the bowl and stir until smooth. Crush two cloves of garlic with the flat side of a knife, fry a little olive oil on both sides, and when the garlic darkens, discard it. Add the medium-sized chopped pancetta or bacon, sauté on all sides until golden and remove the pan from the heat.

The traditional recipe for spaghetti carbonara involves the use of guanchial - a product from salted pork cheeks, which you are unlikely to find. Instead, you can use pancetta, Italian dried brisket, or salted bacon.

Pecorino romano cheese can be used in equal proportions with parmesan to soften its powerful, brackish taste, or completely replaced with the same parmesan or other hard cheese.

Finally, . Most often, carbonara is prepared with spaghetti, but if desired, you can replace them with another long paste - linguine, tagliatelle and so on.

Boil the paste to the state according to the instructions on the package. Pour a couple of tablespoons of water in which the pasta was boiled into a pan, drain the rest of the water, and return the pasta to the pan. Add the contents of the pan and beaten eggs there, and then vigorously stir the pasta for a minute: this will prevent the eggs from seizing, turning into an omelet, so that as a result you should get a smooth and uniform sauce. Arrange the pasta in plates, grate some more cheese on top, and serve immediately.

Once upon a time in my childhood, I thought carbonara pasta was a kind of coral-colored sauce eaten by robbers and pirates - such are children's associations.

Italians call pasta their national treasure - pasta. As well as the “material” from which these pasta is prepared (the language does not dare to call it “dough”), and their many varieties: all these spaghetti, linguinny, tagliatelle, fettuccine, buccatini, papardelle, penne, orecchiette, farfalle, fusilli, concaville , pipe rigate (think, what is this? these are horns)) and others.

As for the "carbonara", it is more interesting here. Carbonar is not a robber at all (pun: “carbonarius” - “troublemaker, revolutionary”). It is spaghetti sauce with the participation of spaghetti themselves. Probably the most famous sauce served with Italian pasta.

You will find many carbonara pasta recipes. All recipes are combined composition: it includes pasta, cheese, bacon and eggs. But there are still more differences: in some there is cream in the sauce, in others the paste must be in the form of bows (farfalle), in the third they use the whole egg.

All carbonara recipes include pasta (most often spaghetti), cheese, bacon and egg.

The essence of Carbonara is that cheese, bacon and eggs are mixed with hot (from the fire) spaghetti, and as a result, the interpenetration of the ingredients reaches a peak.

Carbonara paste: secret ingredients

   In general, one can argue about the ingredients for a long time: Carbonara paste in different regions is slightly different in composition, and therefore taste. Let the nuances, but nonetheless.

In one area of \u200b\u200bItaly, they insist that you can only use guanchial  (salted non-smoked pork cheek). In another preference pancetta  - traditional Italian bacon, which is a fatty piece of pork belly, dried in salt, sage and rosemary.

Another Essential Ingredient - The Right Cheese pecorino romano- A vigorous product made from sheep’s milk. But this is - if by all the rules.

Is it possible to replace them with something? Use high quality jerky bacon and parmesan cheese. Spaghetti can be replaced with lingua or penne.

The carbonara recipe that you see on this page is a pasta native to Rome, the Lazio region. The Roman carbonara paste is considered basic, basic, authentic, although the debate about where Carbonara appeared has not subsided so far.

It is only known for certain that the first recipe was published in 1954 in the UK in the cookbook Italian Food (by Elizabeth David). Everything else is delicious Italian myths.
