Carbonara with guanciale is a classic Italian pasta dish originating from Rome, celebrated for its creamy, savory flavor. Made with simple ingredients, it traditionally features guanciale (cured pork jowl), egg yolks, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, black pepper, and pasta—typically spaghetti or rigatoni. Guanciale imparts a rich, smoky taste, while the eggs create a luscious sauce without the need for cream. Nutritionally, carbonara is a hearty dish offering protein from the eggs and guanciale. Pecorino Romano provides calcium, though it is high in sodium. However, guanciale is also rich in fat, and the dish overall can be calorie-dense. It’s a good source of energy but is best enjoyed in moderation due to its high saturated fat content. This indulgent staple of Italian cuisine is beloved for its satisfying simplicity and bold flavors.
