What is "carbonara"?
Carbonara sauce is a rich and creamy sauce originating from Italian cuisine, traditionally made with eggs, cheese, usually Pecorino Romano or Parmesan, pancetta or guanciale, and black pepper. It has a silky texture and a savory flavor profile, with the richness of the eggs and cheese balanced by the salty and smoky taste of the pancetta or guanciale. Carbonara sauce is typically served with pasta, such as spaghetti or fettuccine, and is known for its simplicity and decadence.
