This iconic Roman pasta dish is a true celebration of simplicity and flavor. Spaghetti, or Rigatoni, is covered in a rich, creamy sauce and tossed with some hot pasta and beaten eggs to add to the texture. The cured guanciale (or pancetta), Romano cheese, and black pepper take it to the next level. As it cooks, it creates a velvety coating that clings to each strand. So, there is a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Despite its humble origins, carbonara has become a beloved classic, showcasing Italian cuisine's ability to transform a few simple ingredients into a sublime and deeply satisfying dish.
