Pinoy Style Carbonara Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is a recipe for Pinoy Style Carbonara. Let me forewarn you that this is totally different from the original carbonara recipe because I tweaked it to fit the Filipino taste. This means that the spaghetti carbonara that this recipe will produce has more sauce and it is meatier. It is also more flavorful.

Pinoy Style Carbonara

There has been several recipes of Filipino carbonara available, but most of these do not use ground beef. I made sure to add ground beef to this recipe to make the dish meatier and more flavorful. Since the creamy sauce cooks quick, there won’ be enough time to make the ground beef tender and extract flavors from it, so I added a cup of beef broth before the cream and made sure that it completely evaporates, and then  the cream and the rest of the ingredients were added.

Feel free to follow my recommendations, or you can use this recipe as a guide and alter it according to your preference. I think that this dish overall is really good. I like how rich and creamy this was. The mushroom, beef, bacon, and cream all worked in harmony to make this dish successful. Feel free to add more bacon and Parmesan cheese before serving.

  • Pour the egg yolk mixture on the pot. Continuously stir until the texture of the white sauce becomes thick.
  • Arrange a serving of spaghetti in a bowl and pour-in some carbonara sauce. Mix well.
  • Twirl the spaghetti carbonara using a fork and then transfer to a pasta bowl. Top with bacon and Parmesan cheese.

    Hi Maricek, it is ok to use Nestle cream, that is what I’ve been using when I cook Carbonara.

    Dear Vanjo, I have just discovered your website and have been amazed that your recipes have really captured the taste of Filipino food, as I remember it when I was growing up in the Philippines.

    So far, I’ve tried the mechado and meatloaf recipes -- will do chicken adobo and chicken mac salad next. I will say that I’ve cooked these dishes before, but I will use only YOUR recipes from now on.

    Maraming salamat!

    Hi Vanjo,

    Ask ko lang kung okay lang ba na ground pork yung meat instead of beef?
    Mag-iiba ba yung lasa ng carbonara? Or dapat ground beef talaga.
    Thanks in advance and Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

      Anne -- you can use ground pork or even ground chicken. No problem.

      Happy New Year!
