I like a little garlic in my carbonara

Am I supposed to cook my pancetta in oil when I make carbonara?
Tried it today and it got smoky as fuck had to stop cooking it after 2 mins..
It still came out good tho

Carbonara, I guess. Or aglio e olio.

Why do Italians get so angry if someone uses cream in carbonara?
Why do they always complain whenever a non Italian cooks something Italian?

Why is no other country this stupid and annoying with their recipes?

What is your favourite pasta for carbonara? What kind of bacon do you use? Do you have any unique preferences and add anything unusual to your sauce?

eggs, hard cheese, bacon and pepper

fuck outta here with anything else

If I wanted to add some vegetables to spaghetti carbonara, what do you think would fit best? I'm thinking broccoli would be good, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

I have seen three recipes for this, and have made two of them. I used pancetta both times.

Antonio Carluccio/Jamie Oliver's method (very similar in technique and ingredients) which is apparently the traditional roman way of making it. Important thing here is that there is no cream.

Marco Pierre White's method, which includes cream and mixes the egg with the pasta before the bacon, and uses chicken stock pot. Personally, I think he is just shilling for knorr and de cecco. He also adds cream to the sauce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyA6PgjTJ2E

This abomination with hot dogs and cream of mushroom soup. I haven't made it and it looks awful. Look at the dude's face at the end of the video when he tries it, he is trying his hardest not to vomit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-PKO2FrdPY

I preferred it without cream, but I do respect Marco Pierre White's cooking abilities. Why does he add cream? He says stuff about having an Italian mother, then says "this is how we do it in america or england". What the hell? Is he a sellout? Should it have cream or not? What do you guys think?
