Recipe of Carbonara spaghetti

Vida Recetas Editorial

Carbonara spaghetti is a classic of Italian cuisine that has won over palates worldwide. This recipe, ideal for a family meal or a special dinner, combines perfectly cooked pasta with a creamy sauce of egg, cheese, and bacon. The key to a good carbonara lies in achieving a silky texture and a balanced flavor between the saltiness of the bacon and the mildness of the cheese. In this version, we add a touch of onion and heavy cream (or evaporated milk) for an even richer sauce, while keeping the traditional essence.

The preparation is simple and quick, perfect for cooks of easy level. While the pasta cooks, we prepare the sauce: sauté the onion and bacon, add the cream, and off the heat, stir in the beaten egg with the cheese so the residual heat melts it without curdling. The result is a comforting, flavorful dish that will delight both young and old. Plus, you can customize it with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro.
