FETTUCCINE CARBONARA

SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA



Spaghetti alla Carbonara image

For a quick dinner, whip up Tyler Florence's authentic Spaghetti alla Carbonara recipe, a rich tangle of pasta, pancetta and egg, from Food Network.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound dry spaghetti
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta or slab bacon, cubed or sliced into small strips
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 large eggs
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking to ensure that the spaghetti will be hot and ready when the sauce is finished; it is very important that the pasta is hot when adding the egg mixture, so that the heat of the pasta cooks the raw eggs in the sauce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender yet firm (as they say in Italian "al dente.") Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce if you wish.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium flame. Add the pancetta and saute for about 3 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered. Toss the garlic into the fat and saute for less than 1 minute to soften.
  • Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes to coat the strands in the bacon fat. Beat the eggs and Parmesan together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the egg/cheese mixture into the pasta, whisking quickly until the eggs thicken, but do not scramble (this is done off the heat to ensure this does not happen.) Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches desired consistency. Season the carbonara with several turns of freshly ground black pepper and taste for salt. Mound the spaghetti carbonara into warm serving bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Pass more cheese around the table.

SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 pound spaghetti
8 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup grated pecorino
Freshly ground black pepper
4 scallions, cut on a severe bias

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil over medium heat.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it starts to color and become crisp. Turn off the heat and reserve.
  • Drop the pasta into the salted boiling water and cook it 1 minute less than it says on the package, usually about 6 to 7 minutes. Bite the pasta to check the consistency.
  • While the pasta is cooking, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the grated cheeses and season with salt. Whisk vigorously until it becomes homogenous. Season generously with black pepper.
  • When the pasta is just about done, return the pan with the pancetta to medium heat. Remove the pasta from the cooking water. Toss or stir the pasta into the pancetta to coat the pasta with the remaining fat in the skillet. Immediately vigorously stir the egg mixture into the pasta. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the egg mixture looks like a cream sauce.
  • Serve immediately garnished with sliced scallions.
  • Buonissimo!

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA



Spaghetti Carbonara image

This dish is a deli egg-bacon-and-cheese-on-a-roll that has been pasta-fied, fancified, fetishized and turned into an Italian tradition that, like many inviolate Italian traditions, is actually far less old than the Mayflower. Because America may have contributed to its creation, carbonara is Exhibit A in the back-and-forth between Italy and the United States when it comes to food. Remember: the main goal is creaminess.

Provided by Ian Fisher

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, pastas, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt
2 large eggs and 2 large yolks, room temperature
1 ounce (about 1/3 packed cup) grated pecorino Romano, plus additional for serving
1 ounce (about 1/3 packed cup) grated Parmesan
Coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 1/2 ounces of slab guanciale (see recipe), pancetta or bacon, sliced into pieces about 1/4 inch thick by 1/3 inch square
12 ounces spaghetti (about 3/4 box)

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of lightly salted water (no more than 1 tablespoon salt) over high heat, and bring to a boil. Fill a large bowl with hot water for serving, and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks and pecorino and Parmesan. Season with a pinch of salt and generous black pepper.
  • Set the water to boil. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the pork, and sauté until the fat just renders, on the edge of crispness but not hard. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add pasta to the water and boil until a bit firmer than al dente. Just before pasta is ready, reheat guanciale in skillet, if needed. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain pasta and add to the skillet over low heat. Stir for a minute or so.
  • Empty serving bowl of hot water. Dry it and add hot pasta mixture. Stir in cheese mixture, adding some reserved pasta water if needed for creaminess. Serve immediately, dressing it with a bit of additional grated pecorino and pepper.

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO CARBONARA



Fettuccine Alfredo Carbonara image

This is a home concoction we refer to as "Death on a Noodle". It is very heavy, but also filling and absolutely delicious. This can be a meal of its own, or a side dish for many people. There are some good stir-ins, such as sliced cooked chicken breast or fresh snow peas, that can be added in the last 5 minutes of simmering. It is important to use a wide, shallow pan because it will help the cream cook down and thicken. If you need to use a deeper saucepan, increase the cooking time in the step to simmer the cream.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb bacon
1 pint heavy cream
crushed red pepper flakes
fresh ground black pepper
fresh ground white pepper
parmesan cheese or romano cheese
2/3 lb fettuccine (can use Fettuccine Rigate, Spaghetti, Penne...)
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Heat a 10-inch skillet (at least 2 inches deep) over medium heat.
  • Slice the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the bacon in the skillet.
  • While the bacon is frying, heat the cream (but not to a boil.) This can be done either in the microwave or on the stove top.
  • Once the bacon is crisp, drain off all but 1-2 tbsp of the grease from the pan.
  • Pour the cream over the bacon.
  • Add a few grinds each of black and white pepper, and some crushed red pepper. A quick sprinkle of red pepper will add some flavor -- for a little more spice, use 1-2 teaspoons.
  • Bring the cream to a simmer, and continue cooking for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the cream sauce is simmering, boil water and prepare the pasta according to the package directions.
  • When the pasta is done and drained, toss with the tablespoon of butter.
  • Once the butter has melted, pour the cream sauce over the pasta and toss to coat.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.

ARTICHOKE CARBONARA



Artichoke Carbonara image

Like most traditional Italian dishes, pasta alla carbonara, quintessentially Roman, employs a minimum of simple ingredients to create a hearty and delicious meal. Guanciale provides salt and fat, while Pecorino Romano and egg yolks mixed with pasta water - a prized Italian secret - help create the velvety sauce. To truly gild the lily, consider a raw egg yolk on top of the pasta. Artichokes, a Roman favorite, come to this dish to soak up the flavors of the guanciale while melting into the pasta. The traditional pasta used in trattorias is tonnarelli, but spaghetti or bucatini are perfect substitutes.

Provided by Anna Francese Gass

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
4 ounces guanciale or pancetta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
12 ounces frozen or canned artichoke quarters, defrosted or drained
6 large egg yolks, plus 4 yolks for an optional garnish
1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, make the sauce: Cut the guanciale into 1/4-inch-thick slabs and then 1-inch-long strips. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large, deep skillet and heat over medium. Add the guanciale, reduce the heat to low and allow the guanciale to render until crisp, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove the guanciale from the skillet and reserve. Remove 1 tablespoon of the guanciale drippings to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Add the artichokes to the skillet and cook until warmed, stirring carefully so they do not break apart. Stir in the cooked guanciale.
  • Add the egg yolks, the cheese, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the small bowl with the reserved guanciale drippings and stir until combined.
  • Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then, using tongs, transfer the cooked pasta to the skillet, mixing to incorporate with the artichokes and guanciale.
  • While whisking, slowly drizzle 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water into the egg mixture until combined.
  • Remove the pasta from the heat and add the egg mixture, tossing vigorously to coat. Add more reserved pasta water incrementally until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Divide the pasta among bowls and top with more grated cheese. If desired, place a raw egg yolk on top of each pasta nest. Top with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil to finish.

SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA: THE TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE



Spaghetti alla Carbonara: the Traditional Italian Recipe image

This dish was created in the Lazio region (the area around Rome) in the middle of the 20th century, after World War Two. We don't use cream, milk, garlic, onions or other strange ingredients; we use only guanciale, eggs, pecorino cheese, and lots of black pepper (carbonaro is the Italian for coal miner). This isn't the Italian-American version, it's the real, creamy carbonara and it comes right from Italy, where I live. Buon appetito.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound guanciale (cured pork cheek), diced
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
3 eggs
10 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add guanciale (see Cook's Note). Cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Let cool, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs, half of the Pecorino Romano cheese, and some black pepper in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour egg mixture over pasta, stirring quickly, until creamy and slightly cooled. Stir in guanciale. Top with remaining Pecorino Romano cheese and more black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give your carbonara a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Cook the pancetta or guanciale until it is crispy. This will add a smoky, savory flavor to the dish.
  • Do not overcook the eggs. The eggs should be cooked just until they are set, about 1 minute.
  • Add the cheese and pepper just before serving. This will prevent the cheese from becoming grainy and the pepper from losing its flavor.
  • Serve immediately. Carbonara is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Fettuccine alla carbonara is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With just a few ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying pasta dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give fettuccine alla carbonara a try.
