Spaghetti Carbonara
📍 Rome, Lazio
Silky Roman pasta of egg, pecorino, black pepper and crisp guanciale — no cream, ever.
About Spaghetti Carbonara
Carbonara is Rome's most argued-over plate: hot pasta tossed with raw egg yolks, sharp pecorino romano, cracked black pepper and rendered guanciale until it turns into a glossy sauce. The trick is heat control — too hot and you get scrambled eggs instead of silk.
