About Carbonara

Carbonara is a classic Italian pasta dish originating from Rome, celebrated for its rich and creamy texture. Traditionally made with spaghetti, it features a savory blend of eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, black pepper, and guanciale, a type of cured pork cheek. The ingredients are combined in a way that creates a silky sauce without the use of cream. While Carbonara offers a source of protein from the eggs and pork, it is also high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat, which should be considered for those managing their diet. The dish is rooted in authentic Italian cuisine and relies on simple ingredients for bold flavor. While indulgent, moderation and thoughtful ingredient choices, like leaner meat options or whole-grain pasta, can make it a more balanced meal.
