There are some dishes that are so iconic they need no introduction. Carbonara is one of those dishes. This pasta dish is known all over the world, and for good reason – it’s delicious!
Carbonara is an Italian dish that originated in Rome, and it is made with bacon, eggs, and Parmesan cheese. Some may argue that adding cream is not traditional, but it’s up to you whether or not you want to include it in your carbonara recipe (we don’t).
The first person to make Carbonara was Mrs. Bruna Taruschio, who owned a restaurant in Rome and served it to coal miners during the 1940s. Mrs. Taruschio named the dish “carbonara“ because of its resemblance to the charcoal-covered clothing worn by the coal miners she served it to.
Now onto our traditional carbonara recipe! We recommend using Mrs. Miller’s Egg Noodles for this dish, as their chew holds onto the sauce perfectly. Let us know if you make this dish and how it turns out! Buon Appetito!
