carbonara
Roman durum-wheat pasta with guanciale, pecorino and eggs.
About carbonara
Turismo Roma’s carbonara follows the traditional Roman combination of durum-wheat pasta, guanciale, Roman pecorino and eggs. Its recipe uses more yolk than white, with salt and pepper completing the seasoning.
Guanciale gives the pasta a savoury pork character, while pecorino adds a concentrated dairy note. Eggs combine with the cheese to form the sauce around the pasta.
The pasta remains al dente, with a creamy coating formed from the egg mixture. The source calls for immediate service on heated plates, with the browned guanciale distributed through the dish.
