Italy is proud of you, an american guy who cooks a perfect carbonara.. my god it's a dream

can’t believe you managed to please so many italians lol you deserve it

It’s not about the right receipt or about the perfect ingredients. A lot of people in Italy use pancetta for carbonara, in Rome too. It’s not a great problem. What is surprising for me as an italian is that you understood, here and in other videos of yours, the sense, the essence, of the italian cooking. The secret is eliminating ingredients not adding. The secret is the quality of the ingredients. Is not a problem of guanciale or pancetta, or parmigiano instead of pecorino. It’s all about the quality of pecorino or the quality of pancetta. Really a good job.

Carbonara is so simple and elegant, and Luciano's recipe is excellent but it's over complicated - it's diminishing returns. This seems like a simplified version of his method that is done very well! I am not a chef, just a passionate home cook, but carbonara is something I make 1-2x a month and have for many years. I love this recipe, you've nailed it! This was very well done. Love your content and your style. Keep killin it, King!

I'm italian and I cook it exactly in this way (just I prefer guanciale). You are great, your explanation is clear and complete. Ciao 😊

Every Nonna alive in Italy is just saying: that’s my boy

As a guy who cooks for his family, I gotta say, how you set up your cooking instructions to give us the conceptions behind the dishes, and how clearly you set up your sequence of cooking is just exceptional. Have had some success cooking Cacio e Pepe, but your techniques are now gonna be my techniques. Thanks, my friend!

I've gotten into so many arguments about this. I used to think the French were the snootiest people about food but the Italians now hold first place. They're insanely defensive and protective of their food and they get upset if you make any changes. I believe many Italians have forgotten their roots. Most of Italian food is supposed to be peasant food. It's the result of poor people using what they had available. Now keeping that in mind, I live in the desert of the southwestern US and the nearest Italian market sells guanciale for $55 per chunk, a can of authentic Italian tomatoes for $9 per can, a wedge of pecorino for $17, and authentic Italian pasta is $6 per bag or I could take the time and effort to make it myself which is a totally different issue. When it's all said and done, I'm spending almost $100 on this meal if I'm going to make it "authentic". So of course I'm going to substitute and use what I have available. I use a similar meat, and similar cheese, a similar pasta, and I save a lot of money and I enjoy myself a nice carbonara. But no this is a direct insult upon the soul of every Italian nonna. But remember it's supposed to be peasant food in the first place, not fancy snooty food for rich people. I would like to be able to afford your peasant food but I cannot, so please forgive me for daring to make my own version of it. And God forbid if I should put some garlic in it because the ghost of nonna will scream from beyond the grave and keep everyone awake all night.

I’m italian, I came here to complain but unfortunately you did a great job :(

So this is what a cooking show is like when the host talks like a normal likeable person. *subscribe* And now I want some proper carbonara :(

Perfect. Finally an American who sticks with the traditional recipe! Standing ovation from Italy :)

I m from Singapore, I cooked it for lunch today and my daughter and her friend said it’s the best they have even tasted. Thank you for your clear and concise instructions.

Sir, you've just made a perfect carbonara. Extreme respect, from Italy.

I'm italian and i can tell you that your carbonara is better than the 80% made by italians ! Nice one.

Brother. I’m 100% Italian, been cooking for over 30 years... you are good! Love your vids and recipes. You are very methodical and detailed with your demos and explanations. Excellent excellent job my friend! Keep it going. Perfect carbonara. 💪🏻👊🏻🇺🇸🇮🇹

An American cooking a state of the art Carbonara. Seen by an Italian... Priceless. Awesome recipes.

as an italian, and most importantly, a roman, that was one of the best execution of the carbonara recipe I've ever had the pleasure to see. It is clear that you are really taking care of how the meal should be (properly) prepared.

i love that every time he's dealing with the cheese in one of these videos, you can see him sneaking a little bite here and there.

I'm Italian, congratulations you have learned perfectly from Luciano, you have made the real Carbonara, this is the right method! Good job!

Had to come here to cleanse myself from Gordon Ramsey’s “carbonara”

Did you get 20k subscribers in 2 days man? I love it when RU-vid gets something right. So deserved

13:41 "Does Italy approve?" Yes, we do. ITALY APPROVES!

Some people are cooks and some people are chefs. You, sir, are a chef. Bravo!

I've been making carbonara for years, but this technique is a game changer. Many thanks to maestro Monosilio!

Roman born and raised here, writing rn from rione Esquilino. Let me tell you this is the very first correct, complete and satisfying video about roman cuisine I've ever seen by a non roman. Carbonara is by far our most misinterpreted dish, especially in the US (cream, mayo, parsley, mushrooms, prosciutto, afredo bullshit and on and on). I liked the eggs-over-water twist and I'll try it myself. You changed a couple of ingredients (pancetta for guanciale and the mixture of parmigiano and pecorino which is more of a recent thing, it used to be just pecorino) but for good reasons. You have the perfect approach to this, keep up the good work. If I may: give it a try with mezze maniche or rigatoni instead of spaghetti.

Watching you cook reminds me of my nonna. She would spend the afternoon teaching me how to cook real Italian food. 20 years has elapsed since she passed away, however finding your channel has brought her back to my kitchen as if she never left. Thank you! I am going to teach my daughter how happy cooking can make you! #legend!

You know what at 1st I thought the cutting board presentation was weird, but I've grown to like it and it's probably way less clean up. I dig it. Love the show.

Made this pasta today. My son yelled: "Best Carbonare ever!" and I agree. Thanks for a great recipe!

Finally. Finally an american guy who knows how to cook italian’s first plates! Bravo!

Lord knows I made a mistake watching this at 2 am in the morning in the middle of quarantine with no eggs in the fridge damn it.! God bless your hands and your photography skills my dude you are the bomb

Luciano is the real deal. This is the recipe to use even though it's not guanciale. But he nails the techniques and flavors. Cheers Luciano. Perfection. Luciano is my confirmation name.

just tried making this, big success! am not much of a cook but it turned my $10 tasting carbonara into an $18 tasting carbonara 🤩 thank you so much!

Steve, I’m so mad at myself right now. I have been a youtube food-channel enthusiast for a couple of years now, and I’m here wondering, how on earth I missed your channel!? Just found out about you, and just by looking at the quality of your videos, the editing, the ingredients, and the passion you put in to your cooking, I have to say that you have no doubt the best cooking channel I have ever seen on any platform. Keep it up, nothing but love and respect to you, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing all these cool recipes with us! //New fan & sub from Sweden.

I think you're the first american to ever shoot a video truly respecting italian cuisine tradition. I SO appreciate you for that! Thank you and great job! 😍🍝

Please man, you gotta tell me. You lived in Rome for a long time. Otherwise it's impossible to be so competent and well informed about Roman dishes. Excellent work by the way. Cheers!

I've tried so many recipes, and this one is the most delicious. Thank you! Greetings from Russia!

Just do you! The cutting board thing is what makes your channel unique 👍👌👌

Bronze die cut pasta has a rougher surface which is ideal for sauces to stick to, while releasing more starch. While most commerical pasta use teflon dies because they last longer and are cheaper, the down side is they produce a smooth surface on the pasta which sauces slide off. Thank you for your recipe, great to see you using the italian method and your respect for the culture, history and food of that nation. Take care, God bless one and all.

As an Italian it is a pleasure to see you cook Italian dishes. You keep the traditional soul whilst using innovative techniques. Truly amazing. And amazing editing as always.

The first 45 seconds of this video are better than all the countless hours of carbonara recipes found elsewhere on the internet. Thanks you.

This is literally the best pasta I’ve ever had.

1. The editing is so good on your videos 2. You actually explain the how and why. I learn throughout 3. You have a great vibe 4. I’ve binged watched all your stuff 5. Sending you good vibes for 2020 and hope your channel turns into your full time job early in the new year

dude, keep up the good work. Remember, haters are going to hate. love watching and then cooking your dishes.

Finally.. an American that can cook. Bravo.

perfect! THIS is the right way to cook carbonara! in italy we do exactly this procedure. congratulations for mentioning Luciano too!

Man, this guy is good! Someone who puts in the time, does the research, learns his craft, and can then relay it in a digestible (no pun intended) way to so many others. My new, favourite channel!

The best carbonara on RU-vid.

I love the cutting board presentation. It's your signature.

Man, I'm proud of you! Sending some italian love ❤

That's what we call a perfect carbonara. Kudos to you, from an italian guy :D

This Channel is just on another level of cooking. Respect

You are far from weird! Not even close. I admire your cooking and how you teach us your style. I can't tell you how many times I have cooked your dishes for friends and family and they all rave and think I am this awesome cook. I watch your videos so much(memorize it) that when I cook in front of people they think I am just winging it. I think you have the best cooking channel on youtube!

Perfectly done!! Keep it up man, your vids are great. Ciao from italy🇮🇹❤️

I love how you cook and i love how you edit. These videos are so relaxing, great job

OH! WOW! I am so happy to finally have a true carbonara recipe without cream!

I see 371 'thumbs down' symbols, how could anyone find this recipe anything but wonderful. Gordon Ramsey must have paid all his friends to post!

Better than what 80% of restaurants serves here in Italy! As soon as you leave Lazio this recipe is butcherd. Perfect job my dude 👌

Cutting board presentation is fantastic ! Good representation of your show, using what you have available in your kitchen and making it beautiful and delicious! Love love love your channel, you’ve totally changed the way I cook for the better. I always wondered how the Italian chef at my old job made such delicious pastas and now I know. No other recipes compare

The cutting board bit. Hilarious! I like it because it's all so visible, as are you. And, I'd like to think I have a bunch of folks waiting to eat off the board with me after it's completed. This channel is great. Thanks man!

This is the best Carbonara vid I have ever seen. Congratulations from me !

hands down best foodshow on youtube. from personality to editing, this is all so fresh and beautiful. keep going man you're gonna be so big.

Oh man, I barely missed the primers! Anyways congrats on hitting 40K subs!!!

Just made this tonight! We are pecorino romano fans, so we did all romano. The guanciale was locally sourced--that is especially remarkable because we live in Hawaii! And it was great! Thanks!

I cooked a kind of carbonara for years with Grana Pardano, bacon, onions, eggs and cream. My family loved it. Then I tried your way and it blew my mind. So simple, so much better. I served it to my daughter and she liked it too. So i´ll loose the wrong ingredients and go for the real thing in the future. Thank you for inspiring me.

Just wanted to say that I have never anticipated a release from a cooking channel as much as Babish but you are an absolute fav of mine now

The cutting board is one of my favourite parts!!

I want to give you a really heartfelt thank you for re-igniting my passion for cooking. I’ve watched and re-watched so many of your videos (and even cooked alongside you) and I’m just so inspired. Thank you, fr.

Man your videos are the best on RU-vid in my opinion. Love your work! 🙌

Nicely done. Cutting board is beautiful. Keep doing what you do.

I subscribe to a lot of food channels, and yet it just took one episode for me to subscribe to you. Very informative and well done!

I loooove that you put all your dishes on a cutting board ❤️❤️❤️

I used this technique not thirty minutes ago and it turned out beautifully. The egg and cheese mixture became so creamy. I feared that I used too much pasta water but after adding the pancetta fat the whole thing came together and I had the perfect texture. Even after getting to the bottom of the bowl, the whole texture remained smooth and tasted delicious.

I'm definitely going to try this out! looks amazing!

Thank you for the pace of your videos. Slow enough to really absorb the techniques and information, chill, quiet, relaxing.

OK ... I watched all 4 Roman pasta shows this evening. You're cool. I'm impressed. This was the second time you apologized at the end for plating on your cutting board. Everyone that wants to give you noise can go "F" themselves. I really like the style. I can't afford to serve my guests on cutting boards, but it would be a cool look. Your idea of cooking over the pasta water was so simple and smart that I'm going to use it in my cooking classes. Thank you for that.

Beautiful technique! I’ve never seen it done this way. I appreciate the lesson. Fantastic production!

yes! we in italy approve! thank you for respecting this dish so much!

Perfect carbonara, well done. Greetings from Italy🇮🇹❤️

Really like this guy and the way he presents his recipes. Very cool, very good

I love that line. . . KING of Carbonara. Great video, in fact all your videos are very good and very applicable. Thanks so much for all your work.

Great editing. Skillful camera work. Great production quality. Back to the basic recipe. This IS not a generic cooking show. Kudos.

I really love your videos, great camera work, editing, music, your attention in details. I hope your channel will blow up, you deserve it. I'm italian and I approve it 100%

We were 48 cousins who ate at the house of our great uncle every sunday. Many dishes, especially polenta [with a delicious sausage & pecorino romano sauce] was served on cutting boards on the length of a table that could seat us ALL! A walk out the back door led to peach, pear & plum trees, then expansive gardens. There was a secret room with many huge barrels of wine. The top floor of the house was a huge dormitory- -we shared stories into the night. Before sunrise, roosters would crow. It was glorious.

You're so chill man.. we need more ppl like you on this planet.. keep up the good work love to watch your cooking.. such a positive vibe

Incredible recipe and production, recently discovered your channel and I'm stunned. Much appreciation from Brazil!!

The algorithm favors you, at least RU-vid is doing something right.

I love how you always finish presenting on your wooden cutting board. Always looks hella dope.

My gawd. I’m making this tonight. Love the hommage to the original chef. Looks like a bad ass method

Man, whenever I feel down or chillin with my dog or even doing homework, having your videos on the background always helps me to relax. Obviously I've already watched this video with full attention and cooked this for my family, it was a hit ;). Thank you for doing what you do, saludos desde Perú :D

The presentation of your food/recipes on the cutting board is absolutely beautiful. Please continue to present that way. Very nice.

Hi, I’m Italian and I have a strong passion for Roman dishes like this. Let me tell you: Congratulations! This is the first time in my life I see a non-Italian guy a perfect carbonara!

Every time I make this dish I always have to watch this video

Im italian and Im a chef in a small restaurant. i wached a couple of videos of you. I must say you are probably the best american cook on youtube!

I really like how you explain your thought process and are open to come back on what you said earlier in order to improve, beautiful photo, your best video yet!

Tempering the eggs over the pasta water is brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

Extreme respect from Italy

Have always wanted to make carbonara but was nervous about the technique - used this method and turned out ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Rich and creamy and smooth and decadent and restaurant quality. Thank you!

I’ve tried 3 pastas so far, and all have turned out so much better than expected! Thank you for making everything really simple!

I like that you plate on your cutting board! Clean, consistent presentation.
