Carbonara Recipe-#1 more creamy & delicious

What is really a carbonara?

A delectable pasta meal laden with crisp bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and savory cream sauce, Filipino-style Pasta Carbonara is sure to please the whole family. It’s quite simple to prepare and ideal for family dinners or special occasions.

Difference between Filipino Style and Traditional Spaghetti

In terms of preparation and ingredients, the Filipino version of carbonara included in this recipe post differs from classic carbonara.

Filipino Carbonara is similar to Alfredo pasta with bacon. The classic form is creamier and richer. The usage of heavy cream is to blame for this. For the sauce, Italian carbonara uses beaten eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

Both types of sauce are created in distinct ways. The Filipino-style carbonara sauce requires some preparation. The sauce is poured over heated pasta near the end of the cooking process in classic carbonara. The spaghetti is tossed while the sauce is slowly cooked utilizing the leftover heat from the pasta.

Cooking Tips

1.)Because the pasta will be tossed in the sauce for a few minutes and continue to cook, cook it for a few minutes shorter than the package suggests.

2.) Please don’t scrimp on the bacon in this spaghetti recipe; it adds a lot of flavors. I use roughly two pounds of bacon and enjoy the crunchy, smokey chunks in every meal!

3.) Because pasta absorbs a lot of moisture, use a lot of cream sauce to compensate for the drying out. Because the sauce will thicken as it rests, make sure the sauce is a little thinner than you’d like.

4.)To avoid curdling, cook the heavy cream over low heat and do not allow it to boil.

5.) Please don’t leave out the nutmeg! Although it isn’t a traditional addition to Filipino-style pasta carbonara, it complements the cream sauce well.

6.) The recipe calls for spaghetti noodles, but linguine or penne would also work well.
