Pasta alla Carbonara Recipe

Pasta alla Carbonara Recipe























Pasta alla carbonara (usually spaghetti, linguine or bucatini but often) is one of the most famous dishes of pasta of Italian cuisine. The ingredients include eggs, pecorino cheese, bacon and pepper.

Although these are the ingredients used in the original carbonara, you can prepare a good Carbonara with substitute ingredients or added, as the bacon, Parmesan cheese, mushrooms, onions, shallots or milk. Outside Italy, moreover, makes abundant use of the cream (such as occurs in the United States or France).

As for the origins, Pasta alla Carbonara perhaps holds the record as a recipe from disparate historical theories: chronologically speaking, date of birth is placed in the 20 th century. One of the most reliable theories wants as simple dish but extremely energy for the workers in coal mines (hence the name). Another wants the origin of the name of the shape of bacon cooked with pepper, vaguely reminiscent of bits of coal. Others claimed that the dish has been invented by the Carbonari, the secret society members of the same name. The last of the theories that we list (there are way too many) believe that the dish was invented by some imaginative chefs Romans during the Second World War, when U.S. allies took large stocks of bacon and egg powder, and needed a practical and easy to cook these ingredients.

After this long introduction we pass to the recipe.
