Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe
Spaghetti Carbonara or Pasta alla Carbonara is a pasta dish with white sauce originally derived from beaten eggs and grated cheese. As the dish became popular, different versions came into being including the creamy version that employs heavy whipping cream.
This pasta carbonara version that we have has a richer and creamier sauce base compared to the original Italian version. If you will notice, I did not include salt and black pepper in the list of ingredients. The saltiness of the bacon and parmesan cheese is enough to bring flavor to the dish. If you feel like adding a little more flavor and spice, please feel free to do so.

Vanjo Merano says
You can always use any cheese that you have. However, Parmesan is the most recommended. If you have edam cheese (this is also known as queso de bola), it will be better compared to quickmelt or any artificial cheeses. Hoe this helps 🙂

Hey, Vanjo. Heard your cooking website from a friend. He said he learned how to cook because of your website. I’m presently working my ass off here in Saudi Arabia. Good to know we’re in the same field -- IT. All the more I’m encouraged to learn cooking. Well done!
