Experience the rich tradition of Italian cuisine with this spaghetti alla carbonara, a classic pasta from central Italy. Made with guanciale fat, large eggs, and parmigiano reggiano, this creamy carbonara sauce combines raw eggs, parmesan cheese, and long pasta for a truly decadent pasta dish. Seasoned with lots of black pepper and a subtle hint of smoke from cured pork, this original recipe brings Rome to your kitchen.
