    As an Italian I can confirm that this pasta is not underrated as it is one of the "four great Roman pasta's" along with Carbonara, Cacio e pepe and Amatriciana but I can also confirm that your technique and choice/use of ingredients are absolutely perfect.

    • @survivaloptions4999
      @survivaloptions4999 6 місяців тому +52

      I think he means underrated by non-Italians. Most non-Italians pasta knowledge ends right after spaghetti and alfredo. Maybe carbonara. Lol

      I think he meant abroad. The others have all had their moment in the sun among us foreigners, but you don't see tiktoks of us trying to make and absolutely butchering tradition about this one. 😅

    I just tried making this myself - due to convenience, I used Parmesan instead of pecorino and bacon instead of guanciale, but I was satisfied with the results.
    Good eats.

      @@badumtss3067 Wrong. Guanciale is the cheek of the pig, while bacon is the same cut as pancetta which comes from the belly.

    As a Roman I can confirm that the ingredients and procedure are correct. I just want to add a few extra little tricks. Before cooking it, put the guanciale for ten seconds in boiling water, dry it and cook it as the video shows , so it will seal and remain even crunchier on the outside and soft on the inside. Then I leave a few pieces of quanciale for an extra minute, remove them and wait for them to dry, then I chop them into powder which I add during creaming.

    That's a lot better than that "carbonara" made with cream they sell in bad European restaurants. I like how you cooked the guanciale slowly. Nice tip.

    • @Braun30
      @Braun30 6 місяців тому +5

      The original carbonara had bacon and cream.
      It's only because some "I know better" Italian that the recipe was changed in later years.
      Bad European restaurants are not bad, simply do not follow fads.

    • @sonawhite8813
      @sonawhite8813 3 місяці тому

      Its also easier and faster to make with cream with less of a risk of it splitting.
      Most italian restaurants in germany i went to use cream because of ease of use.
      But if u ask for no cream or italian version of it some get u the "proper" version of it

    Made this with pancetta and parm because that was what was available. It was amazing!
    One key is to boil the pasta in as little water as possible because that makes the water very starchy which is required for the sauce to be very velvety and thick.

      It's in no way traditional, but would probably be tasty. In fact, prosciutto is traditional in another Roman dish which you could use as a reference (Papalina): ua-cam.com/video/u6Nqa3FR-fg/v-deo.html

    You can keep heating it up, you will have to do it if you like the sauce to be extra thick. You just need to be very careful about that and undercook the pasta a little bit too, otherwise it will be too soft. It makes the preparation longer, a little bit harder and requires constant stirring and attention for a couple of minutes which is very tedious, but the results can be really good. The pasta will be considerably hotter, too, eliminating the rush in serving
