Put the crispy pancetta on some paper and let it drain.The onions will infuse in the fat liquid. When the onions are soft and smell delicious, cover them with the milk and cream.If you don’t have pancetta, bacon will actually do just as fine.* The pancetta will fry in its own fat, it’s wonderful. While the onions are developing all the wonderful aromatic compounds, chop the pancetta and place it into a cold pan.First of all, finely chop half an onion, and fry it in a pan, with some butter, until it smells delicious and gets some color.
#Pasta carbonara plus
1 dl of grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra cheese for the toppingįat and fat Instructions for the “carbonara” sauce:.125 g of smoked pancetta (you can also use bacon).2 minutes to mix it all up and nicely arrange it on a plate.30 minutes of active and passive cooking (20 minutes of waiting for the onion infusion, followed by 10 minutes to mix in the eggs, and very slowly heat the sauce up while stirring.).1 minute to chop up the onion and pancetta.Wait, onions in a carbonara?! I could tell you about the aromatic compounds that develop when caramelizing onions (e.g disulfides, mercaptans, thiopenes, trisulfides), and I could tell you how well the flavor goes with the rest of the dish, but in the end, you should really try it out for yourself. I also like a touch of sweetness from caramelized onions, that go really well with the salty bacon/pancetta. Although Italians sometimes use butter, it’s quite uncommon for this pasta dish. Also, I like using butter in my carbonara to get a buttery flavor. That’s interesting, considering that cream isn’t an ingredient in the recipe being served in its country of origin. If you ask a Swede or an American what a carbonara is, they’ll likely describe it as a cream sauce. I love of the variation of carbonara most commonly found outside of Italy. This is my take on the pasta alla carbonara. I’m no Massimo Bottura, but I like cooking as a hobby and I like to evolve recipes. It wasn’t until he was internationally acclaimed that Italians too started to at least accept him as a master of cooking. One of the world’s best chefs, Massimo Bottura, said in an interview that locals didn’t appreciate his modern interpretation of Italian dishes. I know Italians are very traditional when it comes to food.

The dish doesn’t have a tradition stretching back hundreds of years, it was invented in the 1950’s, so you’re not breaking any great grandparent’s hearts by improving it. I don’t know if there’s any truth to the etymology of the name though. I read that the dish got its name from being popular among Italian charcoal workers.
The name is derived from carbonaro, which means charcoal burner. A classic carbonara is simply pasta mixed with fried guanciale or pancetta, together with its fat, raw eggs and pecorino cheese.
