Creamy Spaghetti Carbonara
Pasta and Pizza • Italian
Description
Spaghetti Carbonara is an Italian dish that enjoys great popularity worldwide, including among us. Once created by simple miners, this simple and hearty pasta has won the hearts and stomachs of many. For Carbonara, it's important to choose bacon slices that have more meat and less fat. If there's too much fat, it will render out during cooking and make the pasta too heavy. You can crush garlic and add it to the sauté. However, to give the dish a refined, barely noticeable aroma, simply simmer the garlic slices in oil and remove them from the pan after a couple of minutes. It's not necessary to use spaghetti for Carbonara—feel free to choose your favorite pasta from the 500 varieties available, but make sure to select pasta made from durum wheat.
