Carbonara from Six Seasons of Pasta by Joshua McFadden
I read that today is National Pasta Day here in the US so I thought I’d celebrate with this decadent treat. I really like this method for carbonara, specifically tempering the eggs gently in the pan after the guanciale is cooked and before adding the pasta. I usually temper the eggs in a bowl placed over the pasta pot but using the pan seems more efficient. I also like the tongue-tingling amount of black pepper. I read somewhere that spaghettoni was the best pasta for carbonara so that’s what I used and it is pretty good.
Apparently, World Pasta Day is right around the corner on Oct 25 so expect to see more from this book then!
