The Real Deal

True Carbonara is a masterpiece of simplicity. It relies on the technique of tempering the eggs with the hot pasta to create a silky sauce without scrambling them.

Guanciale vs. Pancetta vs. Bacon

  • Guanciale: Cured pork jowl. The traditional choice. Rich and fatty.
  • Pancetta: Cured pork belly. A great alternative.
  • Bacon: Smoked pork belly. Adds a smoky flavor which isn't traditional but still delicious.
