    My Nonna has Alzheimer's, but every once in a while her lucid phrase is "are you hungry? I'm going to make you something to eat".
    Your videos make my heart happy

    Love this very much ❤️
    Nonno was absolutely right with his words of wisdom. My advice is that if your family has recipes that you love, get in the kitchen with them and learn from them as much as you can. The BEST recipes come from the people who love you and cherish that time with them. Spaghetti Carbonara is my absolute favorite!!!💕💕💕

    I'm a fine dining Italian Chef and I have to say Nonna's Carbonara is spot on. Most Italian restaurants don't use the white wine but for me it's a must.
    Great job Nonna

      You're Italian, but you think onion, white wine, parsley, butter are spot on? Let's ignore the pancetta cause guanciale is already hard to find there. Ma che cazzo dicci ou? Chiamala qualunque cose che vuoi, ma non e una carbonara. Non fare questi stupidi commenti che poi l'Americani pensano che questa e la vera carbonara.

      ​@@abrielrobertsson4160well when they moved here whether it was America or Canada they adjusted the ingredients to what was available to them so to them this is as real as it gets and unless you are the pasta queen the everyday person can't afford pancetta. Thing's have changed over the decade's a lot more ingredients are available nowadays but their expensive as hell compare to Italian prices such as good artisan bread it's $6 & up depending on the bakery you go to, good legitmate Italian country approved pasta cost $12 while the same size package for cheaper pasta cost $1 something change and for thumb size worth of real parm cheese cost $4 sorry not sorry Thing's are expensive here in the states and up where stairs in Canada

      @@mercedesvelasquez8781 Look, I know ingredients can get really expensive, but let's not claim that extra ingredients which do not belong in a carbonara are spot on. You can do whatever you want with any dish. Hell, it might be even tastier than the original, but it's not the original, period.

    Thank you for sharing this. Spaghetti Carbonara is my favorite meal that my mom makes. When I wad young, we lived in Italy and my mom had a wonderful friend named Maria. She and her husband, Giuseppe, owned a wonderful, authentic Trattoria (like a small authentic restaurant). We always raved over Maria's Carbonara, so Maria kindly took my mom and me into the kitchen there and taught mom how to make her family's recipe. 😊 🍝 It is one of my favorite memories, and my favorite Italian dish to this day. This reminded me of that cozy kitchen in Napoli, and all the warm feelings that come from cooking together. 💗 Food is love.

      The way to do it is to drain the pasta first, put it in a bowl and only then add the eggs and pecorino mixture and the pan fried guanciale. Many people like to put the pasta into the warm pan where you've previously fried the guanciale and slowly add everything and some pasta water but it's too much work for my lazy ass. The important thing is that the pasta needs to be hot enough so that, as you keep mixing, the cheese melts and makes the sauce more dense, but not scalding hot, otherwise the eggs will cook instantly.
      Also, if you don't want a runny sauce, the proportions I use are: 1 whole egg + as many yolks as there are people for up to four people eating it, or 2 whole eggs + yolks if the people are more than four. But proportions are entirely up to you, that's just how I like it. The pecorino should always be A LOT. It's a national treasure, the more the better. No need to add salt or butter to the guanciale, it's already greasy and salty enough. Just season the eggs and pecorino mixture with a bit of salt and pepper and you're done.
      If you can't get your hands on pecorino and guanciale, parmigiano and pancetta are valid substitutes

      It's very original and I'm sure it tastes delicious, but it's definitely not the "correct Italian way". The only things that it has in common with the actual carbonara recipe is pasta and eggs. It's awesome to experiment with food and try new combinations and variations of dishes, but don't claim something is made the traditional way when not even the sweet lady who made it has done so

    • @Blecco
      @Blecco Рік тому +3

      @@bleachnbones7107 been a while since I watched but as an Italian I can say that traditional carbonara is pasta eggs guanciale and pecorino. Common substitutes are pancetta and parmesan which is more than fair for somebody not located in Italy as they might be hard to locate otherwise.

    "La Carbonara" today is a classic italian dish, buuut:
    ///The name "carbonara" is first attested in 1950, when it was described in the Italian newspaper La Stampa as a Roman dish sought out by American officers after the Allied liberation of Rome in 1944. It was described as a "Roman dish" at a time when many Italians were eating eggs and bacon supplied by troops from the United States.
    According to another unverified hypothesis a young Italian army cook, Renato Gualandi, created the dish in 1944 together with other Italian cooks working for the allies for a dinner for the US army as the Americans "had fabulous bacon, very good cream, some cheese and powdered egg yolks".///
    So, i believe the americans had something to do with the invention of this classic italian recipe 😊.
    And kudos to the lovely Nonna, she reminds me of my own nonna "la grande nonna Ida".
