Carbonara is a pasta dish that originated from Rome, Italy. It is typically made with spaghetti or fettuccine noodles, bacon or pancetta, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic, and black pepper. The pasta is cooked al dente, then mixed with the sauce ingredients, which creates a creamy and savory sauce that coats the pasta. The sauce is made by whisking together eggs, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper, then adding the mixture to the pasta and bacon mixture. The heat from the hot pasta cooks the eggs and creates a thick and creamy sauce. Carbonara is typically served with freshly grated parmesan cheese and black pepper on top, and is often considered a classic Italian comfort food.
