The sauce is bright yellow from fresh eggs, and each bucatini hides cubes of fatty guanciale. This yolk-heavy recipe is beyond creamy—without cream!—with black peppercorns. It's unlike any clumpy carbonaras you've had. The tricks? Omitting most of the egg whites; their water thins the sauce. It's a pasta worth mastering.

    Hi, i'm Italian and I make carbonara every sunday and let me compliment you: this is the best carbonara recipe on youtube made by a non-italian, and even beats most of the other italian videos about carbonara. The only things i'd like to point out is that usually I only use pecorino (a bit more than you used so as to make the sauce creamier and stick better to the pasta) and no parmigiano. As you said in the video because of the saltyness of both guanciale and pecorino, i'd avoid adding any more salt than the strictly necessary ammount going in the pasta water in the beginning. I have never tried adding some pasta water in the cream and i really don't want it to ruin the creaminess or the balance in saltyness of the eggs-pecorino midturr, but i'll definitely try it next time and decide if it's a good twist on my usual preparation. Great video! :)
  • Love how she uses units of measurements that I can understand.....sht ton of pepper.. got it :)

    My cardiologist says I can’t watch your videos anymore.
  • @sifskippy
    Do italians just search the internet for carbonara recipes to spam angry comments?
  • I wanna work as a cleaner there so I can get to eat all the yummy food.

    I fell in love with Carbonara when I was in Rome. This is one of the few legit carbonara recipes I've seen on YouTube. I make mine with all the same ingredients, but I put it all together a little differently. And guancale is way too hard to find so I always use pancetta

    I only found this just a week or two ago and only recently found time to give it a try.  I made enough for the entire family plus a family friend.  I cannot believe the praise I got.  It turned out PERFECT.  The whole family made a huge deal.  Perfect directions.  I just couldn't find the pecorino so I used just the parm.  More Italian vids Molly, thank you.

    This is DELICIOUS! Just in case anyone was wondering. We had this for dinner, and it was a hit! Definitely will be a repeat meal!
  • @kortneybuhr7606
    Watched this and turned around and made it for my husband he loved it! I loved it too! Super delicious!
  • @Nekbyter1
    I never realized a "*#&! ton" was an actual measuring unit for deciding how much pepper one should use. Love it!!
  • @stefanod8360
    I'm Italian and I approve this recipe. Brava Molly.
  • @Jess76Reece
    I made this tonight for the first time ever! SO GOOD!! Thank you for helping me get over my fear of just making pasta with scrambled eggs. It turned out amazing!
  • @joefretty3426
    If all y’all Italians know so much about how “real” carbonara should be, how come y’all on here looking at recipes?
  • @MaybeCornbread
    I can’t trust a chef that doesn’t click their tongs twice, just to be sure they’re properly calibrated.
