      I preheat the water and then put the pasta in a few minutes before the sauce is done. I find if you just use tongs to transfer them, letting them drip a bit, you have no need to reserve and pasta water and retain the starches to the sauce sticks to the pasta. I am no pro but this works for me. It just seems right.

    Sorry, Vinny. I’ve been in America my entire life and the only proper carbonara I’ve ever had is the one I learned to make from UA-cam. I guess you’d be amazed how little real carbonara is actually around. “Italian” restaurants around here (run by Armenians with Mexicans in the kitchen 😅) like to peddle Alfredo with lightly pan fried ham chunks as carbonara. And then there’s Olive Garden. 😭

    Carbonara is really expensive where I live. The only place I can find Panchetta/Guanciale and Pecorino is in a specialty shop, and the last time I bought ingredients to cook for 3 people, it costed me 40-50 USD (which does not sound a lot, but convert it into South East Asian currency and that would be around 5% of the monthly salary of a 20+ year old office worker). Therefore, real Carbonara is only sold in fancy fine dining restaurants here, and is considered a luxury that you treat yourself to once in a while.
    Most Carbonara sold here in family restaurants are made with bacon/chicken ham/smoked duck with Parmesan and/or cream. Sometimes with mushrooms. Afaik, these "fake Carbonara" is actually more preferred by locals here. People here don't really eat much cheese. Pecorino is considered too strong for quite a lot of people lol

      Guanciale in my area (SF Bay Area in the USA) is around $24-45/lb by a rough estimate. My guess is that it might be imported from Italy. Pancetta looks like it might cost half as much, but it's still expensive. That being said, it was worth making carbonara with guanciale because you can have the dish for special occasions.
      Some eggs get up there in price. There's a company called the Happy Egg Co that sells this blue egg carton for $7.99/lb. I do taste a difference with that brand, but not many others. You also might be able to get eggs from a farmer's market that would be even better than those. It's hard to find a good egg seller at a farmer's market, but the seller is definitely worth seeking out. Last I saw was maybe $5 for farmers market eggs, but that was pre-inflation

    I'm not sure Vincenzo was grasping the concept of the video. Frank knows how to make carbonara. The expensive version was his recipe using ingredients he selected. He knows carbonara uses guanciale and doesn't use peas and cream, but for the video he has to use the ingredients that Lorenzo selected, which means he has to use the bacon, peas, and cream. I'm sure the producers also asked him to choose very expensive ingredients for the purpose of a "cheap vs expensive" video. No, you don't need olive oil or wine, but those pad the price, and then drinking the wine with the good carbonara enforces the "expensive" and "premium" handmade, artisan experience that they want to show for the traditional carbonara.

    Generally I like the idea of this frittata, even with some of the pasta not covered in the custard. Some crunchy pasta on top may actually be pretty nice. Maybe I'll try a hybrid of your and Frank's recipes.

  • @DyadintheForce
    @DyadintheForce 6 місяців тому

    The problem with their itemized list of cost -- is that the bottle of wine and bottle of the extra-virgin olive oil is probably not going to all be used in one carbonara and the oil and wine will probably go a long way (unless you drink the wine). It's not like you need a whole bottle of oil to make carbonara.

    Yes, he had to use the cream, but no one said he had to use all of it. Just some sprinkles would have been enough. I would call Frank's dish a noodle gratin with guanciale bacon and peas. That's what it is. It might taste quite well. But it's nothing like a carbonara.

    One thing to note is that guanciale and good pecorino are both fairly expensive when bought whole in America. Trying to get some Pecorino in my home town, it was about $17, and Guanciale was about $20 per package. But regardless, there are likely more inexpensive alternatives due to the fact I was just shopping at regular grocery stores and not delis or butcherers, and the prices they paid for their ingredients were extortionist.
