Pasta bake using sauce out of a jar. Tradition >>>

Can be applied to anything.

The key to a good butter is butter IMO. The quality and the amount.

If you use pancetta/guanciale fat you don’t need butter.

I don’t think I’ve ever used butter in carbonara.

Is there a pasta recommendations thread?

And you only use the egg yolk.

You want to fry Guanciale in some good olive oil, mix up eggs with your pecorino and quite a lot of black pepper. I personally like to use more egg yolk than whites.

Agreed. Butter >>>>>>

Quite like the Marcella Hazan carbonara.
Bit of white wine and parsley make it fun.

Pancetta is not the same as bacon for carbonara. Pancetta renders out significantly more delicious fat, so no need for butter.

Lardons work ok, but texture isn’t quite there...

Also butter can burn too easily at the start of cooking and change the colour of the sauce for later.

I have used a lump of cold butter to finish carbonaras and egg based dishes, cools the dish/sauce down to limit over cooking.

....is there a cooking thread?

Now you've pushed it pasta point of no return

But why not add butter when you can ;)

I think it's a better emulsifier than oil/fat rendered from bacon. They dairy quality of it really rounds up the dairy in parmesan.

I am with you on egg yolk only but I almost always end up wasting the egg whites so these days I just use a whole egg.

I made it for dinner today, instead of bacon I slow-fried baby aubergines on low heat in olive oil for about 30 mins.

FUCK WHITE INDUSTRIES HUBS.

Are there going to be Dura Ace disc hubs? Or just the wheelsets

It cannoli get worse from here

Don’t gnocchi till you try it.

Because the nation of carbonara eaters don’t and I’ll trust them on this. If I wanted to make ‘bad French hotel’ carbonara then ... yeah ;-)

Microwave whisked egg whites with cinnamon and brown sugar.

+1 for courgettes in butter though. Dreamy with a sage leaf. 👌🏼

I must be committing all sorts of carbonara crimes with my crème fraiche. I blame Delia.

this I will try and blame you if I don't like.

Because wheels are boring, pasta ain't.

Some kind of pasta bake last night. Dunno, don't care, smashed it into my face.

Still want artery-hardening creamy pasta though. Need to remember what it was. Maybe a linguine with creamy sauce of some kind.

Or frozen berries, sugar, egg whites in blender.

Cured pig cheek. Try it. Any Italian deli will have some. Maybe get some lardo whilst you’re there to really finish yourself off.

Am I now an ‘enabler’?

Nah, you'd have to cook it for me. I can listen to lists of ingredients for days and still not get off the sofa to find them and even less likely to buy them and use them in a recipe.

Is it worthing paying the extra $$ for DT 240s (with straight pull - is that any better) on some chinese carbons, rather than Novatec/Bitex or whatever. To be used for racing exclusively. No rain.
