How crisp should I fry the bacon? I like mine a little floppy but my gf said it wasn't authentic.

>not tossing the pasta and egg mixture on low heat with a bit of starchy pasta water

>>17699126
try adding the other half of the bacon after youve plated the pasta to preserve crisp in the bacon

>>17699126
Pancetta. You put pancetta in carbonara, not bacon. Pancetta.
If you use bacon, you might as well make your carbonara with cream, because it won't be authentic carbonara.

Someone Toucha My Spaghett

>>17700235
Try making a pork roast and just using the pan drippings no butter or milk. It works.

>>17700014

>>17700140
who cares. Italian cuisine is about doing what you can with a few simple ingredients, without being pretentious or exclusive. This new trend of acting like peasant Italian cuisine is like aristocratic French cuisine, obsessed rigid rules and etiquette, is retarded and extremely American.

>>17699109

cringe larper

>>17699109
Do Italians really love spaghetti so much that they made a breakfast spaghetti?

you're all actual retards who think you're only pretending to be retarded

You don't want to fully cook the egg. You're thickening it but not to the point where the egg becomes solid, which would give you spaghetti and scrambled eggs.

>>17699109
looks dry and bland and again very dry

>>17699126
The pasta cooks the bacon

>>17699109
i dont eat pasta

the heat of the water cooks the pasta

SPAM Carbonara for maximum Italian butthurt.

>>17703088
I cook carbonara with sausages and random cheap pasta, i just fry it all on the pan with eggs.

>>17700014
This anon is correct you fucking retards. You put guanciale in traditional carbonara.

>>17702057
How do you get the pasta out of there without breaking the eggs?

>>17699109
Does it? Can I just break an egg over cooked pasta?

>>17704830
As long as it's fresh enough. Carbonarafags literally have to worry about it turning into scrambled eggs instead of a smooth sauce

>>17704838
What a stupid thing to worry about. As if scrambled eggs is suddenly horrible.
