did I make carbonara?
Does it look like this No? then you failed
looks like your eggs are overdone for carbonara, so i guess purists would say you couldn't say it is. would eat it anyway, looks good.
>>20414009keep the egg liquid, it's a must. if you fail to do so and notice early, you add pasta water and stir to mitigate the damage. it needs to be creamy.
>>20414016i know this is bait, but still going to reply to it because it's so bad. >using 2 kinds of pasta with different cooking times, ronis will be al dente, farfalle will be hard/uncooked>peaskysat least the egg is less solidified as op's one
>>20414021Carbonara was solid, cooked-through eggs until the 90s
>>20414105>the concept of starting with the pasta with the longest cooking time is alien to me>I don't like peas in my carbonarakys(reddit spacing)at least something something something
>>20414127
>>20414009the residual heat overcooked the eggs
>>20414009are these egg bits? that's bad.I used the still hot liquid from the bacon to "cook" and mix the egg sauce.
>>20414110interesting, would you have any source on this?
>>20414016good evening, Mr. Scalfani
>>20414262Apart from being alive in the 80s and 90s and remembering how people used to make it, Vincenzo's Plate in just about every carbonara mentions itThe 90s were when the creamy style started taking overThere was even a style of carbonara where you boiled the spaghetti and put it in a buttered pie pan, sprinkled sauteed ham/bacon/guanciale over the top, tempered the eggs, mixed in the cheese and pepper, pour that over the whole thing, and baked it like a casseroleThen you'd slice it like a pie, served hot or coldGod the days when I'd open up my lunchbox and see a slice of that shit, I hated itHindsight, my dad loved me and made sure I ate well, took many years for me to understand that
>>20414324thanks for your response, i wouldn't know since i was born in the ealy 90'sisn't it wholesome how food is so attached to our early memories?cute baby otter, it happens to be my favorite animal.
>>20414009you will have anons bullshitting and trolling when it comes to carbonaraignore them and follow the instructions in this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA6_rLrFTwcPancetta is an acceptable replacement for guanciale, but not bacon
My first attempt at 'nara.
Honestly I like "attempted" carbonaraI call it breakfast spaghetti
disgusting
>>20414009HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike
Bam. It was great. Even with the singular hair in the pasta.
>>20416128looks bredy gud anon proud of you
There's at least a thousand photos of this onlineThe ones with either sun dried tomatoes or mushrooms look best
i can enjoy a carbonara every once in a while but damn it is bland. honestly it needs some veggies or something in it, the only reason there isn't any is because those poor fucks in the 40's couldn't afford it.
you made bacon and scrambled eggs with spaghetti
>>20416213It's far from bland with egg, pork and cheeseYou're either lying or your brain isn't functional
>>20416213Sorry to break it to you but I think you had shitty carbonara because a proper carbonara is anything but bland.
>>20416219>>20416227it's literally colourlessyou can't honestly believe it's a perfected dish when it's missing 80% of all basic nutrients.
>>20416206All look like dry shit.>>20416213It's italian mac n cheese. Using very high-quality cheese and real guancialle makes a big difference.
That's egg noodles
>>20416235I wish I could change your mind. I make a bitchin' carbonana
>>20416235who cares about nutrients
>>20414009Buy Scissors and cut up parsely / basil at leastLooks too plain and cheap
>>20416235Greed, red and yellow aren't colors to you?Are you crack, meth or fentynal?
>>20416235It's pasta. It's meant to be filler you dipshit. That's why they give you a salad before you eat itThere's no way you're this stupid
>>20416241You probably eat waffle house
>>20414376Hey, this thead is still going
>>20414009No
>>20417716Wrong. This >>20416128 is my craboner.
no, you made scrambled eggs. but it's still edible, just try again next time.>>20415634fukken saved
>>20414009You degenerate mutt, who the fuck told you to chop the pasta to your dicklet size, and what the fuck is wrong with you scrambling eggs in it?
>>20414009Nice batch of fried eggs and noodles you got there you fucking retardI hole some italians choke you to death in your sleep
>>20417763war... war never changes
>>20415613>Pancetta is an acceptable replacement for guanciale, but not baconI disagree. Using bacon makes a different dish which purists might refuse to call carbonara, but it's delicious and worthy of being eaten. This is especially true if you can get your hands on some good local (or relatively local) bacon; cooking with local ingredients is always cool.
>>20414009You cook everything in olive oil. The three eggs after it is out of the bowl. Pasta should still be hot enough to melt cheese still.
>>20414324how do baby otters taste?
what's carbonara supposed to taste like anyway? the only italian restaurant that makes proper carbonara around me is fucking expensive (other restaurants have carbonara on their menu, but it's fucking alfredo sauce). I'd do it myself, but my range sucks when it comes low-medium temps. it's one of those that heat up to the max and shut down. it's fine to make steak when i put it on high.
just skip the eggs and use creamtastes much better and is easier to make>b-b-but muh REAL carbonarashut the fuck up
>>20414009Not even close.
>>20416128Nice.
what are you talking about eggs in carbonara? is this a fucking joke?
Is this the pasta thread?R8 my mushroom linguine
>>20420519Looks like some of your linguinos are stuck together they don't cook right but this is /ck/ so 11/10 would
>>20420519Would devour that shit. Nice job!
>>20420049You thicken the sauce in a metal bowl over the boiling pasta water. Like a double boiler.
>>20420519would definitely scranmushrooms are underrated
crazy how this coal miner slop dish has become such a controversial subject
>>20414009If your grandmother had wheels she'd be a bike
>>20420553>>20420563>>20420651Thx anons it was tasty as
>>20420899Checked. Mind to share the recipe?
>>20420951I used this one https://www.recipetineats.com/creamy-mushroom-pasta/I just used more stock instead of wine though
>>20420963Thanks.
>>20414105I went to rome and got peas in my carbanara at a restaurant. it was good
>>20414009You forgot to add the cream. Also you should try adding chicken, Italians love that.
>>20416235Meat and dairy give you all of the nutrients you need retard. Vegetables are high in some nutrients compared to OTHER vegetables. Meats mog all of them. That's why vegans look garbage and age so quickly.
For me, it's this
>>20420654It's perfect to needlessly argue and troll about since it's such a simple ages old dish - you take pasta and add ham or other meat, cheese if available, egg and whatever else to make it calorie rich and nutritious and delicious - and therefore existing in endless variants and as long as pasta itself.So by just insisting that THE Carbonara(TM) has to be made exactly like THAT with X Y and Z you can have ENDLESS discussions and arguments. That already starts at the question if THE Carbonara(TM) contains cream or not and that of course fucking noodles with small pieces of meat in creamy eggy sauce ONLY as a dish exists since it was "invented" using the meat rations not even 100 years ago yadda yadda yadda.No other dish in its simplicity is such a perfect target for that.
>>20422014Have some fucking dignity
>>20422014What the fuck is thatAnyways I'm currently making my weekly carbonara :) >>20420651>scran Love me fat scran
the fuck is carbonara? just pasta with anything thrown in with it?
>>20414009Almost. Just need Alfredo sauce.
>>20426756Pasta sauce made of fried guanciale, pasta water, egg and cheese.It's very rich, and basically an instant meal - from start to finish should take about 15 miinutes including clean up.Americans for some reason changed the guanciale to ham, added peas and changed the egg to cream.>>20422014I have no idea why boxed carbonara would exist, it's literally a 15 minute meal, start to finish.
>>20415627Kino at least it's not a scrambled egg
>>20416213>bacon, cheese & eggs>blandHow?? Literally contains three very strong and distinctive tasting things, and yet somehow yours is coming out bland? And you think vegetables are more flavourful?
>>20416235>missing 80% of all basic nutrientsI don’t know where you’re getting your nutritional information from, but eggs, meat and dairy are literally the most nutritionally dense foods you can get and have everything you need besides vitamin c. They’re way more nutritious than any vegetable.
>>20427555I know where you get your information from, and those people are retards.
>>20427562Yeah, from nutritional scientists. The only retard here is you. Eggs, meat and dairy are complete protein sources, so contain all your essential amino acids. Eggs and dairy also contain 12 of the 13 essential vitamins, only missing vitamin C like I already said. With pork having 9 essential vitamins.
>>20414009Carbonara is not a real dish, it's an elaborate joke by Italians to prank foreigners
>>20420073My entire life my mum and dad always made carbonara with cream, bacon and fettuccini.Italians can seethe all they want, as long as the dish tastes good.
>>20414009IF MY GRANDMOTHER HAD WHEELS, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIKE
>>20422014>Cart made of 60% recycled paperIf they have to advertise with this, it can't be good.
>>20414016Perfection! British chefs like to add vegetables to these dishes because otherwise Brits wouldn't eat their veggies for the day.
