I am half Italian myself (from Naples) and I can easily say Carbonara is my favourite pasta of all time. Though I do love a good amatriciana as well, and pesto also goes very well on pasta too!
Half Italian from Naples? That's like having pasta in your DNA! Carbonara, amatriciana, and pesto - you've got the trio of pasta perfection right there.
We ate at Nannarella's in Trastevere Rome this past October. I was really looking forward to the Cacio e Pepe as I have never eaten it before and my wife ordered the Carbonara. I tried my pasta first and then she let me try her carbonara. Now, I have always favoured a red sauce or even a spicy arrabbiata sauce but this carbonara was a game changer. The tonnarelli with that rich creamy sauce and smoky guanciale was absolutely outstanding. It's been 4 weeks since I ate there and I can't stop thinking about it.
It sounds like Nannarella's carbonara has ruined all other pasta dishes for you! I guess once you've had a taste of that rich creamy sauce and smoky guanciale, nothing else compares. It's like the Leonardo da Vinci of carbonaras - a true masterpiece!
there are multiple legends about pasta alla carbonara birth, but basically the first official recognition was in 1945; a Bolognese chef had to cook after an Allies meeting near Rimini, but had very few ingredients underhand; so, while cooking pasta he took out some bacon and egg powder from US MREs, added some parmigiano/pecorino cheese and... The rest is history 😋 btw the base recipe belongs to carbonari, "char makers": eggs, pecorino cheese, guanciale, pasta or (more likely) bread crumbs all mixed up and cooked into a pan, just like a deep omelette to be portioned. 2 pieces of that in your sack, a bottle of wine and you're OK for the whole day 😉

i like the waiter correctd you with the sheep, goat's cheese, otherwise I was already planning to mention it 😛 as I+m in the south, I'd say pasta con ragu for us here 😅 but I do need to learn to cook other pasta as well
Looks like the waiter saved the day with their cheese knowledge! Who knew cheese could be such a hot topic? And hey, learning to cook different pasta dishes is a great way to expand your culinary skills. Soon you'll be impressing everyone with your pasta mastery!
Yes OMG it’s so good!!! I was thinking about going to Italy next year but it may be London or Tokyo. But I can definitely tell you I will go back mainly for the food!!!!!
it sounds like you've got a real passion for culinary adventures - like me! And yes, the food is always a fantastic reason to travel. Enjoy planning your trip! 🍝✈️
Every time we come to Italy especially Roma i have soaghetti alla carbonara at least twice for dinner I love it so much and my wife makes a brilliant plateful for me she also makes her own pasta from scratch, in fact she is making it for me for dinner tonight.
To me all pasta taste the same. This is why I am confuse why there is a need for different names for different shapes, ie spaghetti, penne, bowtie. Am I wrong? Are each pasta really that different that only certain types of pasta can be used for different types of dish?
Oh yes each pasta the shape has its own purpose and on texture and look and a dish and some hold sauces better than others for particular plates and some have their own stories in history as well
ogni tipo di pasta e preparazione ha un sapore completamente differente, non conosco le tue abitudini e quale pasta mangi ma ti garantisco che per me le differenze sono enormi
