    It’s not about the right receipt or about the perfect ingredients. A lot of people in Italy use pancetta for carbonara, in Rome too. It’s not a great problem.
    What is surprising for me as an italian is that you understood, here and in other videos of yours, the sense, the essence, of the italian cooking.
    The secret is eliminating ingredients not adding. The secret is the quality of the ingredients. Is not a problem of guanciale or pancetta, or parmigiano instead of pecorino. It’s all about the quality of pecorino or the quality of pancetta.
    Really a good job.

      @davideportaluri 4 года назад +94

      ​@@hanzee6418 As an italian, I think he means that when a lot of these italian dishes were created, Italy itself was a very poor country, and we tried to do our best with the ingredients we had. We used few and cheap ingredients, and that's what makes the dishes so good. A lot of italian recipes use a handful of ingredients: carbonara(eggs, guanciale, pecorino and pepper), cacio e pepe(pepper, pecorino), even a pizza dough uses just flour, water, yeast and oil. Sometimes, if we eliminate ingredients, we leave some space to all the ingredients to be
      distinguishable, as opposed to stuffing every meal with various ingredients. Take for example Gordon Ramsey's carbonara: he added also peas, mushrooms, parsley, cream, and more. Those are waaaaay too much ingredients to call that a carbonara. Using ingredients like way too much garlic or onions can ruin a dish, just because they cover up too much of the flavors! The stunning thing about italian cuisine is that it's so poor, it uses a few ingredients, yet it tastes incredible. Sometimes less is more, and with cooking, it can be like that a lot of times

    • @davideportaluri
      @davideportaluri 4 года назад +12

      @@CerpinTxt87 It looks like gatekeeping, but I think he has a fair point. Bad guanciale won't render as good and as much as good guanciale. That's the same thing with parmigiano, for example. In Italy we get mad sometimes when people use parmesan instead of parmigiano, because it's a different thing.
      Imho you can also cook a good dish with bad ingredients, and ruin good ingredients if you are a horrible chef, but I think that's another discussion that we can have. Good ingredients, at least here in Italy, are worth it, because a lot of times they cost just an euro over the discount prices, so I'm not sure about prices fluctuations in other countries
      You can also cook a tasty dish, even using non-traditional ingredients. Sometimes it's more about the technique, rather than the ingredients. Mantecatura, for example, is fundamental for the egg-cheese-parmigiano cream in the carbonara

    Roman born and raised here, writing rn from rione Esquilino. Let me tell you this is the very first correct, complete and satisfying video about roman cuisine I've ever seen by a non roman. Carbonara is by far our most misinterpreted dish, especially in the US (cream, mayo, parsley, mushrooms, prosciutto, afredo bullshit and on and on). I liked the eggs-over-water twist and I'll try it myself. You changed a couple of ingredients (pancetta for guanciale and the mixture of parmigiano and pecorino which is more of a recent thing, it used to be just pecorino) but for good reasons. You have the perfect approach to this, keep up the good work.
    If I may: give it a try with mezze maniche or rigatoni instead of spaghetti.

    I've gotten into so many arguments about this. I used to think the French were the snootiest people about food but the Italians now hold first place. They're insanely defensive and protective of their food and they get upset if you make any changes. I believe many Italians have forgotten their roots. Most of Italian food is supposed to be peasant food. It's the result of poor people using what they had available. Now keeping that in mind, I live in the desert of the southwestern US and the nearest Italian market sells guanciale for $55 per chunk, a can of authentic Italian tomatoes for $9 per can, a wedge of pecorino for $17, and authentic Italian pasta is $6 per bag or I could take the time and effort to make it myself which is a totally different issue. When it's all said and done, I'm spending almost $100 on this meal if I'm going to make it "authentic". So of course I'm going to substitute and use what I have available. I use a similar meat, and similar cheese, a similar pasta, and I save a lot of money and I enjoy myself a nice carbonara. But no this is a direct insult upon the soul of every Italian nonna. But remember it's supposed to be peasant food in the first place, not fancy snooty food for rich people. I would like to be able to afford your peasant food but I cannot, so please forgive me for daring to make my own version of it. And God forbid if I should put some garlic in it because the ghost of nonna will scream from beyond the grave and keep everyone awake all night.

    For those who don’t have this kind of bowls and stuff, you can just add the pasta to the pancetta pan (it must have cooled down, like in the video) (if there is too much fat, remove some)
    Make sure it’s not hot, otherwise it’ll cook the eggs. Add the pasta, which will be warm enough to pasteurize the eggs but not to scramble them. When you add boiling water, do it slowly and gradually to, again, make sure it doesn’t cook the egg mixture.

    I see a lot of study here. Loved the fact that you used pancetta but you mentioned the traditional would be guanciale. It could sound obsessive, but for italians food culture is the biggest thing we are proud of. So watching an american guy cooking perfectly our dish is like if he’s a sort ambassador of our culture.
    Also, when made at home (and outside of Rome) in Italy too most of people use Pancetta because is more commonly available in markets than guanciale.

    11:34 This is actually a very important insight for all Carbonara fans out there: As italians usually say, pasta water should be "as salty as the sea" with 10 grams of salt per 1 liter of water, this should not be used as a measurement for Carbonara. If you do it, it just gets very very salty for many reasons: 1. Salt of Pancetta / Guanciale, 2. Salt of Pecorino / Parmesan, 3. Saltiness of Pasta after being cooked in the salty pasta water and 4. Saltiness of the pasta water that you give to the carbonara sauce at the end. I did the mistake once and never again :)

    I always bring water to a boil for pasta. It usually results in the salt being dissolved without any effort then bring it down to a medium-high immediately after adding the pasta since the pasta itself is usually cold enough to stop the boil and if you leave pasta at a constant boil the starches are just going to cause boil overs. I've never understood recipes that say bring water to a boil then fail to mention you should turn the heat down once you add the pasta so I am glad you emphasized that it is completely unnecessary to boil pasta into oblivion.

    As far as the cutting board goes, I thought it was an obvious style choice. It is minimalist and stylish in the presentation of your completed work. Not weird at all.. but even if it were to be thought of as weird... our differences are seen as positive qualities by those who matter. Plus I am weird, so I probably miss that kind of stuff anyway.
