Spaghetti Carbonara

Spaghetti Carbonara

Carbonara is Rome's gift to the world. The authentic recipe contains no cream — the silky texture comes from the perfect emulsification of egg yolks and aged cheese. It is believed to have evolved into its modern form after American soldiers near Rome in 1944 combined army-issued bacon with local pasta-making traditions.
