Something that changed how you cook, a tip most people don’t know or something you discovered yourself. Or even something that you just think is cool.

    Stop making carbonara with cream

    make it the traditional way

    egg yolk, parmesan, 2 whole garlic cloves, pancetta.

    so much better

      Traditional would be pecorino instead of parmesan and guanciale instead of pancetta.

      But as my Italian chef once said: Sometimes you can’t be fucked separating eggs and all you got is bacon. Might be why he was forced out of Italy, but I digress.

          Pecorino is stupidly expensive, I’ve had both it and parmesan carbonara before and the difference shouldn’t be a deal breaker. We get it, sheep’s cheese = fancy.

        Pretty sure garlic isn’t traditional either. Not that I’m a carbonara snob, make it however you like
