Lo and behold, I call it "The Aspiring Carbonara"

This is my first Carbonara. I went and followed J**** O****s cooking video. My kitchen was an absolute mess, but his water splashing technique truly did prevent the frying. And this is really delicious..

Why is your kitchen an absolute mess for a dish that takes two pans, a mug and some grated cheese

Recipe? Did you make real carbonara with emulsified eggs or did you go the cream route?

>> No.16156621

>>16156555
I made the real carbonara recipe. Pancetta subsitute for Guanciale, 1 egg, pecorino romano fresh grated by my hand, pepper grounded by my hand. I did not have any garlic.

>> No.16156634

>>16156621
You made real carbonara. Most people don’t use guanciale because it’s a such a boutique ingredient. Carbonara doesn’t have garlic anyway. Good job.

I’m one of the carbonara autist Italians around here so we aren’t totally unreasonable you know. In all truth on weeknights, uncured bacon works just fine in carbonara too. It’s the rest of the ingredients that are pretty much set in stone.

When I make carbonara I like to add a touch of sriracha to give it a little kick

You know after making it, I can't imagine why anybody would put cream in it.

Thanks! I think if I could add anything...it'd just be more cheese.

They use cream because they don’t know what emulsification is because their corn syrup diet has calcified the arteries to their amerimutt brains

>I did not have any garlic.
Thank God, garlic in carbonara is vile

>Pancetta subsitute for Guanciale,
You did a very good job tho
That's unfortunate because guanciale makes a huge difference. Anyway pancetta is an acceptable substitute.
I suggest you to try carbonara with guanciale at least once when you have the chance

If you manage to buy guanciale, be careful that the fat is perfectly white. If you use even a little part of slightly yellow-ish fat, it will make you carbonara taste horrible

I saw the JO video and frankly, while he sure makes read carbonara (except for the garlic) he makes some mistakes in the preparation.

> He ruined guanciale cutting it too small. It should be cut regularly and should result crunchy and soft in the inside.
> He added pepper to guanciale while it should be added to egg and it should not be cooked at all
> The amount of pecorino put in the egg should be at least double respect to what he use (at least)
> Obviously no garlic

Anyway It's nice when people put some effort to replicate the "traditional" recipe.
Good job anon

Thanks for the tips. I will make sure to incorporate them into my next Carbonara. I will add that I definitely put way more P.Romano in the eggs than he did! I'll 100% try Guanciale when I get the chance too.
