    I just made my very first carbonara and it was using this video recipe. I must say that I am a Lithuanian who has never made carbonara before and woke up today and decided that today is the day. I watched this video, got all of the ingredients, made it and ate it. My chest got hairier and I’m booking a ticket to Rome right now

    Dude Italian dishes have 3 ingredients and they’re the most delicious thing you’ve ever had. It’s insane. I had just a platter of meat and cheese in Florence. Best food I’ve had in my entire life.
    What I get from it is that
    1. It requires a skilled chef
    2. All the ingredients have to be incredibly fresh (the cured meats on my favourite dish of all time were hanging from the restaurant ceiling to be cut).

    • @GanymedeXD
      @GanymedeXD Год назад

      One of the oldest Carbonara recipes even includes Swiss Cheese, not Pecorino. But … Pecorino is one of the cheaper Italian cheese … e.g. compared to parmesan … hence I usually grab pecorino … definitely not weighed in gold …

    Its so simple and authentic and delicious looking. I think I had it - the real one - once in my life in Costa Rica. A very small - 12 seat - Italian ristorante on the water. They were from Rome. No Menu. Not even drinks/wine. You ate what he was preparing and drank what wine he had. It took an hour +, but my family will never forget it. Also some lobster ravioli!
    Thank you Gennara!!

      With Cesar salad? What combination is that? A classic Italian would fit better … Cesar’s itself is quite hearty … Italian side salads rather light and basic. Cesar’s not really Italian. It was created in Mexico by an Italian in the 20s … and is rather a main course than Carbonara ad on.
