This is a perfect real Roman carbonara recipe. Just like the ones I used to eat in Rome. The rigatoni pasta is very important. I don't know why, but it really tastes different when you use rigatoni instead of spaghetti
Hi Christina! Great question, this step is not necessary but you can do that if you’d like. In my original recipe I do not do this and I believe the recipe benefits from the extra moisture. Thank you!
Just tried it according to your recipe exactly. So simple yet so flavorful. The magic bread crumbs were outrageous. Thank you 🙏! P.S. I did make fresh linguine so I cooked the rapini first since the pasta takes just 2-3 minutes.
