<h2>Featured Recipe: [[Spaghetti_alla_carbonara|The One True Carbonara]]</h2>
  
 +
[[image:carbonarafeat.jpg|link=Spaghetti_alla_carbonara]]
  
 +
Spaghetti alla Carbonara is a simple, comforting dish -- when made properly. It's classic Italian fare that somehow lost its magic when coming stateside, much like how cacciatore, bolognese, and even alfredo have been reduced to comical shells of their original recipes.
  
−
We're hoping that eventually we'll be able to have this site as a quality recipe archive for all the tasty treats on the Goons with Spoons forum. This site can only be as good as its contributors though, so register and dig in.
+
This is more or less "authentic" Carbonara. Note that it lacks peas, cream, chicken, or any number of other fillers as you may have seen it in restaurants. If my tone seems bitter, it is because it saddens me that the closest thing I have found in a US restaurant has been runny, goopy, or cluttered. (The one notable exception being Cyrus, north of Sonoma, but that's a story for another thread). My first real Carbonara in a neighborhood restaurant in Rome was an epiphany. Warm, textured, rustic and filling.

-Please try to keep image file sizes down and appropriate to the size of the page, 30 seconds in an image editing program will keep the site running much faster. The admins reserve the right to remove any pictures that are flagrant offenders.

Featured Recipe: The One True Carbonara

Carbonarafeat.jpg

Spaghetti alla Carbonara is a simple, comforting dish -- when made properly. It's classic Italian fare that somehow lost its magic when coming stateside, much like how cacciatore, bolognese, and even alfredo have been reduced to comical shells of their original recipes.

This is more or less "authentic" Carbonara. Note that it lacks peas, cream, chicken, or any number of other fillers as you may have seen it in restaurants. If my tone seems bitter, it is because it saddens me that the closest thing I have found in a US restaurant has been runny, goopy, or cluttered. (The one notable exception being Cyrus, north of Sonoma, but that's a story for another thread). My first real Carbonara in a neighborhood restaurant in Rome was an epiphany. Warm, textured, rustic and filling.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 lb. pancetta
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 lb. parmesan cheese (approx. 1 cup grated)
  • italian parsley, for garnish
  • black pepper
