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.

If you know what Char Siu Bao is, you already know how delicious these hot little buns are. They can be baked or steamed, but both have soft, slightly sweet, pillowy dough wrapped around a savory and sweet filling of thick sauce and minced BBQ'd pork. I always eat more than I should, as they are fucking delicious. I have to drive a ways to get good, hot fresh bao, and the frozen ones are full of preservatives and artificial ingredients. I have 4 days off for Thanksgiving, so why not make some, I thought to myself?

*3 cloves garlic, minced

Editor's Note: This recipe also contains the recipe for the Chinese barbecue pork which (from personal experience) goes incredibly well with shanghai or other noodles for a quick meal. Whenever I make this recipe I make extra pork.

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
