Back to basics and with this - Carbonara Classico (without cream). Stuck with the classic and opted for the spaghetti instead of the penne. There is also an option to top up for fresh pasta or stuffed ravioli. Being a purist, I’ve always preferred carbonara without cream, this really allows each ingredient from the minimalist recipe to shine through. And as ironic as it sounds, it is still a pasta dish with that smooth glossy creamy sauce, with that hint of smokiness from the bacon. Not surprisingly, egg yolks are the unsung heroes of carbonara and they are responsible for the creaminess in the sauce and that luxurious feeling you get with each mouthful without feeling greasy. Glad the pasta did justice to the amazing sauce - perfect al denté. Buon appetito!
