Hot sauce works well, especially Crystal

Using quail eggs for the sauce.

Individually these sound like disgusting troll suggestions, together they just sound fucking delicious

>>15190251
Use peccorino and guanciale instead of parmesan and bacon, toast the pepper, sprinkle a bit of flour into the water for extra starch (helps prevent the egg from coagulating and the peccorino from clumping), use only the yolk and not the eggwhite
also do this: >>15190392

>>15190251
Yes, pour some spaghetti sauce over the top. That will make it taste like actual spaghetti instead of your Italian peasant garbage spaghetti

Dash of tarragon

Dash of semen

>>15190251
a shitton of rosemary
also garlic

>>15190392
Pretty much this. Real bacon and fresh eggs. It's hard to find fresh pasta where I am at but it's not hard to make. I like it without cream but I usually add it for the kids.

>>15190501
Gonna have to try this.

from an italian making a fake carbonara for 2 people

>boil water
>chop half an union into small blocks, cut 2-3 cloves of garlic finely, and some parsley, put these 3 aside.
>break 2 eggs, only use the egg yolks. add about 150-200ml of cooking cream, add 60g of parmesan cheese.
>mix that shit in a bowl until consistent, season with pepper
>when water boils start cooking the pasta (300g spaghetti) 10 minutes
>also start frying bacon strips.
>at about 6 minutes you throw in the garlic, onion and parsley in. continue until it looks done (usually when the pasta is done cooking)
>drain pasta
>throw in the sauce with the bacon strips and shit in a large pan that also fits the pasta
>throw in pasta, mix everything until consistent, heat it to evaporate excess sause untill you have the desired consistency (i like it a bit thick, some like it more watery)
>plate it up with some parmesan ontop

garlic in carbonara is dumb
@ me if you want to lose an argument

>>15191192
@'ed you because i want to be antagonistic.
its not an authentic traditional carbonara, and i just like the taste the garlic brings in the recipe.

>>15190251
not really. everything i've ever added to it only makes it worse

>>15191164
repulsive, do not post again

>>15190267
everytime

>>15191199
You @ me because you want to lose an argument, I made things very clear.
And no, it's not about tradition it's about balance. Adding bitterness with garlic in a dish like carbonara is dumb and shows that you have bad taste.

add the tears of seething autistic shitalians lol

>Are there any ways to make a basic carbonara better
- Boil Pasta.
- Heat pan and cook either, Bacon, Guanciale, or pancetta.
- Depending on the number of people eating your Carbonara will tell you how many eggs to use, You will use 1 full egg + The number of people eating in egg yolks:
- Ex: 1 Person eating: 1 full egg + 1 egg yolk
- Ex: 2 people eating: 1 full egg + 2 egg yolk
- etc..
- After picking the correct amount of eggs you want wisk them in a bowl and combine them with you preferred cheese either Pecorino Romano, or Parmesan cheese. Also add in some black pepper.
- Now at this point you have your noodles cooking, your meat cooking, and you egg/cheese mixture made up. Once you your noodles are finished turn them off, and turn down the heat on your pan to low, throw the noodles into the pan with your cooked meat(The pan should have some of the cooked fat in the pan, however if you are using bacon or pancetta you can have a LOT of fat, dump some out or abosrb some of it with a paper towel before adding the noodles) then have a spatula ready and add in the egg/cheese mixture, and mix together the noodles, egg/cheese mixture, and meat of choice then server.
- The biggest problem with carbonara is making sure you do NOT cook the eggs and make scrambled eggs, you want the egg mixture to be creamy consistency.

Here is a video explaining these steps:

Anything other then these steps is NOT carbonara, if your carbonara tastes like shit its because you fucked up cooking the eggs, or are using shit ingredients. You need to invest in Guanciale, Pancetta, Pecorino Romano, or Parmesan cheese.

A bit of gorgonzola is nice with Carbonara

>>15190251
replace the cheese and egg mixture with creme fraiche.

Add some chopped veggies.

There is absolutely 0 reason to not put garlic in.

>>15190251
Put it in a food processor with 10 kilograms of black cardamom seeds. Eat the resulting paste with a spoon.

>>15191483
>+ 1 egg yolk
what is the reason of getting rid of the white of the second egg anon?

>>15192362
Isn't that a baseline ingredient for carbonara anyways?

>>15190396
it's his choice.

>>15190251
Unironically, no.

Yes follow this guy's recipe.
