Late night Carbonara and Whiskey Sour

  • Pro-tip: if you make your carbonara with an extra yolk, that leaves you an extra white for your whiskey sour. I didn't cook enough pasta, so I'm saving that egg mixture and I'll use it for savory french toast tomorrow morning.
    PLEASE READ!
    The coronavirus has hit many folks hard, including first responders and hospital workers, individuals and families who were already food insecure, and service industry employees who are, for the large part, currently out of a job.
    My goal is to help fix both these problems in the best way I know how to contribute: organizing people, and cooking food.
    If you would like to donate to our free meal fund, head to www.toasttab.c... where you can buy a boxed meal for someone in need. These boxes go directly to the frontline workers and food insecure families who have been hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. They also allow me to hire back my kitchen team to cook and pack these meals (in a safe, clean way). So far we have served nearly 500 meals, and the number goes up every week.
    If you would like to make a monthly recurring donation of any size, head to my Patreon account at / kenjilopezalt . 100% of the proceeds go directly to the free meal fund. You can also help by buying my books at bookshop.org/shop/kenjilopezalt where 100% of my sales commission goes to the free meal fund, and an additional 10% goes to independent book stores around the country.
    Finally, stay safe. Here is my guide to food safety and the coronavirus, written with the consultation of virologists, food safety experts, and infectious disease specialists, and kept up to date as new research emerges: www.seriouseat...

    Hi Kenji!
    I have made this carbonara twice in the last week, and the first time, I royally messed it up. Burnt the bacon, pan was too hot so I scrambled the eggs but when I made it tonight, my dad said that it was one of the best Carbonara's he's ever eaten. I'm only 16, so I'm really proud of that, especially coming from someone who was a chef for 10 years, and has been a home cook for over 20.
    Thank you very much!

    I generally don't like whiskey, but after my 2 older sisters' weddings, we had crates of the stuff. I learned that whiskey sours made it palatable. I've never used an egg white nor Angostura though. One benefit to whiskey sours was taking a pre-made cooler of them in our golf cart with my cousin. I wasn't even tipsy but I've never played a better game of golf in my life. During social isolation, taking a couple of those, a wedge, and some whiffle balls and knocking them around the yard is just as enjoyable. Followed by savory carbonara french toast, of course.....

    This is actually a brilliant way to use the leftover albumen that you don't use for carbonara. Boiling spaghetti in a pan instead of a pot saves water and it's a quicker method altogether, I don't know why I haven't ever thought of it.

    Hey Kenji, I tried the recipe but it didn't come out too great. I changed a few things though. Instead of spaghetti I made my own dough and formed it into disks and popped them in the oven. I ran out of parmesan and eggs yesterday so I thought to myself, well cream cheese has one of those so I put it on the cooked pasta dough. Finally I didn't have any bacon so I used some smoked salmon that I made myself. Didn't really feel like a late night meal. I feel it would be a great breakfast though. Thanks for trying!
