The ingredients needed to make Roman-Style Authentic Carbonara:
  1. Make ready 100 grams Pasta of your choice
  2. Take 3 eggs' worth (A) Egg yolk (you could also use 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk)
  3. Prepare 1 (A) Parmesan cheese
  4. Prepare 1 clove Garlic (finely chopped)
  5. Make ready 1/5 or 1/6 Onion (finely chopped, optional)

Some Roman versions use salted pork jowl, which is not smoked and much sweeter than bacon (somewhat difficult to find outside of. The Sfoglia carbonara was a completely different thing from the one I grew up with in western Massachusetts, which, even though made with whole eggs and pancetta, seemed austere in "Like some trends, it caught on and was eventually brought into the canon of Roman pastas." Legend has it that the word "carbonara" is derived from the miners outside of Rome who would enjoy a hearty pasta made with cured pork jowels, fresh eggs and pecorino romano cheese. They would then adorn the dish with copious amounts of black pepper which was reminiscent of the specks of carbon.

Steps to make Roman-Style Authentic Carbonara:
  1. Fill a large pot with 3 liters of water and bring it to boil. This is the water to be used for cooking the pasta. Once the water begins to boil, add 2 tablespoons of salt (this amount is equal to 1% of the weight of the water).
  2. The amount of salt used in Step 1 will also add flavor. Measure out the salt carefully. When the pasta water comes to a boil, turn the heat down very low to have it ready.
  3. Prepare and cut the garlic, bacon, and onion as noted in the ingredient list.
  4. Combine the "A" ingredients and a dash each of salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well. * I use a small amount of salt and pepper since a lot of the salt will come from the bacon.
  5. To drain the pasta, place a strainer over the top of another bowl, which should be larger than the bowl in Step 4. Prepare this beforehand in order to quickly use it as a double broiler.
  6. Combine the olive oil, garlic, and bacon in an unheated frying pan and heat over low heat. * Thoroughly transfer the fragrance of each of the ingredients to the oil.
  7. When the garlic from Step 6 becomes a light beige color, add the onion, salt, and pepper and heat over medium heat.
  8. When the onion from Step 7 becomes translucent, remove from heat. Add the pasta to the boiling water from Step 2 and boil over low heat.
  9. When the pasta is cooked to al dente, drain the pasta in the strainer from Step 5 and preserve the water in the bowl underneath.
  10. Add the cooked pasta to the frying pan in Step 8 and mix well over a low-medium heat.
  11. Add one ladle's worth of pasta water (or, if you're using a whole egg, add 0.6 ladle's worth) and the contents of the frying pan to the bowl in Step 4.
  12. Place the bowl in Step 11 over the top of the bowl containing the remaining pasta water to create a double broiler. Heat the pasta and sauce using this method and mix well.
  13. (Tip) This carbonara only uses egg for the sauce, so the sauce should become hard around the edges of the bowl. Continuously mix quickly, focusing on the edges of the bowl.
  14. Once the egg sauce has reached a preferred thickness, transfer the sauce and pasta onto a plate, add plenty of black pepper, and you're done!
  15. I sliced Parmesan cheese and used it as a topping. Crisp bacon would also be really delicious.
  16. Even though only egg is used for the sauce, by using a double broiler and adding a lot of the pasta water will produce a creamy sauce without lumps. If you have any leftover egg yolks, be sure to give this recipe a try!
