Start with high-quality pasta and cook it al dente for the perfect texture.
Use fresh eggs to create a rich and creamy sauce without cream.
Choose pancetta or guanciale for authentic Italian flavor.
Combine pasta with the cooked meat and egg mixture quickly for a silky sauce.
Add grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano for extra depth of flavor.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to balance the richness.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, as Carbonara is best enjoyed fresh.
