About Carbenara
Carbenara is a creamy Italian pasta dish traditionally prepared with spaghetti, eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, pancetta or guanciale, and black pepper. Originating from Rome, it is a staple of Italian cuisine that combines simple ingredients to create a rich and flavorful meal. The dish is notable for its creamy texture achieved without the use of cream, relying on the emulsification of eggs and cheese. While high in protein due to the eggs and meat, Carbenara is calorie-dense and typically high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on the amount of cheese and cured pork used. Often considered a comfort food, it pairs beautifully with a side of vegetables or salad to provide balance. Moderation and mindful ingredient choices, such as incorporating whole-grain pasta, can enhance its nutritional profile.
