Recipe: Spaghetti Carbonara

The Unc was back for a short trip recently, and with him, he brought all the ingredients needed to make Pasta Carbonara for us. An authentic version is made using guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino romano and Parmigiano Reggiano with eggs (no cream!). For the pasta, we used spaghettoni (a thicker version of spaghetti).

Perfectly Al dente, rich and creamy.. loved it! Thanks to The Unc for making this for us :)
