HOW TO MAKE SPAGHETTI CARBONARA
INGREDIENTS:
5L Water
Pinch rock salt
300g/10 oz Spaghetti (or Spaghettoni/Rigatoni/Paccheri)
150g/5.3 oz Guanciale
200g (2 cups) Pecorino cheese
4 eggs
Pepper
UTENSILS:
Large pot for cooking pasta
Chopping Board
Knife
Large fry pan
Mixing bowl
Fork
Ladle
Long set of tongs
METHOD:
1. Spaghetti carbonara takes just a short time to make so first up, boil the water to cook your pasta in a large pot.
2. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions when it comes to time, making sure the pasta is al dente.
3. Cut the skin off the guanciale (making sure to leave the peppery/seasoned crust), then slice it into thin strips.
4. Put the large fry pan on the stove at a low to medium heat. For the spaghetti carbonara recipe to be just right, add the guanciale into the pan, let it cook very slowly and it will create its own delicious oil.
5. Let the guanciale simmer and crisp up very gently.
6. Get your mixing bowl and add 4 eggs, then whisk them really well.
7. Next, add the pecorino cheese to make this spaghetti carbonara recipe, and lots of pepper before mixing it together really well. This will create a scrumptious cream for you to add to your pasta.
8. Once the pasta has boiled to your preferred taste, using a set of tongs, take out the pasta from the boiling water and add it straight to the pan, making sure small drops of the water mix into the pan too.
9. Turn off the cook top, so the pasta and guanciale stop cooking.
10. Next, using the ladle, get a full scoop of pasta water out of the pot and add it to the egg and cheese cream, then mix through well using a fork.
VINCENZO’S PLATE TIP: The pasta water is the KEY to making the Spaghetti Carbonara recipe PERFECTLY! Don’t miss this step!! It will help to combine all the ingredients well and they will stick to the pasta better.
11. Now, turn the cook top back on a low heat, add some pasta water to the pan, and now, pour the cream over the top, then mix it through using your tongs – be gentle, but fast! Let it cook through but don’t let the eggs scramble or you will end up with a frittata!
12. Keep mixing the cream through until it just starts to thicken, stir is through and then serve.
E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy!

You know, this is the first Youtube carbonara I have seen that actually gives reasons as to why something is done or not, instead of just annoyingly referring to some 'ancient' Italian custom. Thank you.
-
I love how he takes the time to pronounce: paaancheetaaa or guaaanciaale. Italian sounds so passionate.
-
I made this Carbonara as my first Italian food ever and my mom told me that it was 10/10, thank you Vinchenzo!🙏 You are the best cook here on YouTube

I made these today and it turned to best pasta i ever made. My wife was happy. Thank you for your recipes

I'm an American, from an Italian family, and I've been telling people since I was a teenager in the 1980's, "There's no cream in spaghetti carbonara!"
-
We love carbonara! This is today's meal for us... Thank you for teaching REAL carbonara! Have a good day !
-
I wanted to cook Spaghetti Carbonara since I tried it for the first time, but I was always afraid of adding eggs. This video makes it so easy to do so I gave it a shot. The result was so good that no one remembered to take a picture, we ate and ate and ate until we ate it all 😊Thanks a lot Vincenzo for this wonderful easy-to-follow recipe. I'm not afraid of Carbonara anymore 😊
-
Every time my family and I make carbonara, this is the recipe we use. It never fails to disappoint us. Truly one of if not the best thing I have ever eaten!

I just made this for lunch for my whole family here in the US. Guanciale, peccorino all available at my local grocery store. They loved it! Thank you Vincenzo!
-
" 300 grams of spaghetti for 3 people " Bro did you have to attack me like that? Who tf only eats 100g of spaghetti ? This is definitely the best looking Carbonara I've seen. That sauce looks amazing.
-
I would marry an Italian man who knows how to cook correctly and perfectly.
-
Just moved to Italy 2 month ago and started making this Carbonara recipe, my wife was sceptical at first since we were used to the wrong version (bacon and parmigiano) but after we followed your instructions, we feel like we've never had Carbonara before. Thanks you!
-

Gordon Ramsay’s Lockdown Rainbow pasta brought me here!

I've always made this with parmesan. I tried to use pecorino just recently, and now i'm never going back to parmesan again.
-
No disappoitment, just pure Carbonara pleasure. Great explanation how to avoid a scrambled eggs pasta.
