The original Ingredient Swap duo returns as expert chef instructor Frank Proto and home cook extraordinaire Lorenzo are trading carbonara recipes and hitting the kitchen. We set Lorenzo up with $174 worth of ingredients and Frank's recipe while sending only a modest $10 worth of goods back the other way. How do Lorenzo's skill stack up against Frank's expert level recipe? What tricks can Frank break out to improvise his way up to gourmet with only ten bucks?

@DrewLevitt 2 года назад

When I was first getting into Roman pastas - carbonara, gricia, amatriciana - I figured that guanciale would probably be a little better than pancetta or bacon. Maybe it would be worth the extra cost and the trouble of finding it, maybe not. I was wrong. Guanciale is WAY better than bacon or even pancetta. Like, three or four times as good. If you can get your hands on it, do it. There's really no substitute for guanciale.

And if the Bills win we will credit her for the win. She is so much fun to watch too. Her and Lorenzo together at Frank's show would be a BLAST.

If there's a single thing that I learned from traditional Italian cuisine, is that you don't fresh pasta for some dishes, like carbonara. A good chef would choose something like Monograno Felicetti for a high end carbonara.

@giovannidolci1346 Год назад

As an Italian I can confirm that fresh pasta doesn't really change anything in most cases, and just makes it harder to cook, because overcooks really easily

@RevelMagic Год назад

Agreed. Egg pasta with egg sauce? Waaaaaay too heavy. I’m sure it’s tasty but it’s not “the way”.

@idek7438 Год назад

Yeah it's cause the sauce is quite heavy and would mask the quality of the fresh pasta. And in general there are just certain pasta shapes/kinds that no Italian would use with certain sauces lol not really a reason why it just doesn't sound normal

I might be partial here because I love carbonara, but this is the first time I like the look of the expensive version more.

@biseinerheult78 2 года назад

Depending on where you live, that wouldn’t even be that expensive. The really expensive things in there were the old Parmesan and the wine. If you live in Europe you can get guincale in most major cities or just order it online from an Italian specialty online shop (which you should be able to find in most countries). Same goes for the pecorino cheese. I can see The Guiancale being harder to get and more expensive in the states, but you could easily substitute pancetta, which you also don’t get everywhere but should be a bit easier to find. And if you live in Italy, the “expensive” version probably costs you ten euros to make.
