As an Italian, I can tell you it's actually super easy. I think the scrambled egg problem will just disappear if you add the bacon and eggs to the pasta pot (after draining the water), instead of adding the pasta and eggs to the bacon. That way the eggs don't immediately touch the bottom and they don't cook so fast that they turn into scrambled eggs. And (at least for me) mixing in the pot instead of the pan makes it easier to avoid spilling everywhere.
Valeria Ferrari I think the secret is that you only need to use the yolk for making carbonara, discarding the whites. I’ve always seen it done with egg yolks added at the end of the whole cooking process ☺️
Italian watching in fear here 😉 We prefer olive oil to butter and onion to garlic, but apart from that this is a good carbonara recipe 🙂 And THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for not adding cream to it, I'm almost cryingbof joy 😀💖
Thank you so much for the clear instructions! Every other video on this dish I have watched were way too complicated and were like 15 minutes plus… this video is awesome! Cheers!
You're super adorable and I enjoyed your instruction~I needed a little brush up as I've not done this in decades and my boy loves this! Thanks cutie! Great, simple, succinct instruction! Well done!
Literally just whipped this up, and it did scramble a little but I saved it; and it was pretty good! 😊 I will be trying again and agin and agin until I master this meal
My top tip for carbonara: "temper" your egg mixture with a ladle of the pasta water before throwing it in the pan! Foolproof. And this is after I too created a few 'scrambled eggs and pasta' dishes because, even though I'd taken my pan off the heat, it was still too hot.
I have been craving this dish. Will try to make at home. If all fails will go to my favorite Italian restaurant lol.. I agree on buying fresh parmesan a little pricey but the flavor is worth it. I used to buy the bottled cheese 🤫😆
I made this for dinner last night. The sauce turned out perfect. I was amazed everyone enjoyed it. . . especially our fussiest eater. It was Delicious ❤️. Thank you Dzung 🌷🌿
Hi Honeysuckle. I just made your carbonara recipe. It's delicious. I used vegetarian bacon and one extra egg. Thank you for teaching me this recipe. I will make it again and again.
Just tried this recipe. This is one of my favorite dishes to order at Italian restaurants, but I’ve always been intimidated to make it at home. It was so delicious! Even my very picky family loved it. Thanks for the step by step directions! It was quick and easy. 😋
Ah I always wanted to try this recipe but its tricky, most of the time... yes it turns to scramble eggs😂 so I always ended use cooking cream. Thanks Dzung for sharing this! 💜
I had a co-worker whose family is from Spain and she showed me how to make a carbonara-like recipe years ago...but without eggs. I haven't made it in a while, but I think instead of eggs, she had me use parsley. I gave that recipe to my nephew this last Christmas since I'm trying to teach him how to cook. But now that you've shown us an easy way to do carbonara, I'm going to point him to your video. Thanks for sharing! But I think the carbonara could use a touch of color...maybe toss some parsley on there (mixing your recipe with my friend's). LOL
@@msacco9812 Well, it was a carbonara-like recipe provided by someone from Spain. LOL! Here are the ingredients, in case you want to cry your eyes out at how she interpreted it. Hahaha.
Pancetta or bacon, finely diced (dices easier if frozen first) 1 medium onion, finely diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1-2 tbsp of olive oil 1 pint of heavy whipping cream ¼ cup of fresh parsley, chopped ¼ - ½ cup Parmesan cheese Salt Freshly ground pepper 1/8-1/4 tsp nutmeg 1 lb freshly cooked pasta
Omg!! Came across your vid this morning (notification squad!), excitedly realized I had all the ingredients on hand, and made this for lunch!!! My five year old ate an entire bowl (and he’s a no sauce but butter on his pasta kind of kid) and that made me so happy. We both really enjoyed it! Creamy without the heavy cream; amazing. Thanks Dzung!!
Thank you for the recipe! In the past, I was always afraid of preparing pasta carbonara, but thanks to you and how easy you made it look I tried it and it came out great.
She almost got it right, no garlic, no bacon but guanciale. to avoid the eggs from scrambling you add the eggs and parmigiano cheese mix off the heat, 1 tip, use 1 egg yolk per person plus 1 whole egg. Carbonara is a Roman dish, I live in Rome. 😉 but in the end she got it better then many Americans.
Can you make more dairy free recipes? I love my dairy, but I just found out that I'm allergic... I'm on the hunt for new delicious dairy-free recipes 🔎😋
I made it tonight for dinner! My first try at carbonara didn’t turn out too bad. I used peppered bacon and it was a peppery deliciousness. I love the simple ingredients, we usually have all of those things on hand.
Do you have any videos and if you don't would you be interested in doing a video where you can only spend like anywhere from 1:50 to $5 for all the meals for the day for like a week?? I love those they're so challenging
Love the fact that you don't ruin the recipe with cream - I just don't understand why anyone would do that. Instead of whole eggs, I only use yolks - and no garlic. Very basic but it tastes like heaven 😉
Hi!! I love your channel so much! It's so entertaining and fun! I especially love this video because my dad really likes carbonara so thank you so much!
Tried this but change bacon with carrot & mushroom I’m affraid of making omelete , so I mix the egg with cold broth. Just a little bit. Turn off the pan while mixing it. It worked
I’ve never even heard of this dish but now that I saw your video I’ll definitely be trying it 👍🏾 by the way I made your carrot cake overnight oats and just had them for breakfast! Thanks for your recipes and your cheery personality 😊
Made that some weeks ago, its the best one so far, so easy, quick to make and the taste is divine. Goin to make that again today. Its such a good mix of carbonara/Alfredo pasta. Love it. Perfect craving recipe
i love this channel! Im living in apartments next year (im a college student) and I hope to try out some of these dishes! Thanks for making everything so aesthetically pleasing :)
Carbonara is such an easy recipe and I really don’t get why in USA everybody ruins it. No butter or garlic needed! I can deal with bacon instead of guanciale and parmigiano instead of pecorino but why adding the other ingredients?
Sure it’s personal taste, but I was born and raised in Rome and for me this is so traditional that I’d rather stick with the OG recipe, mostly because is easier 😊 and yummier (quality ingredients are the key)
You’re the cutest! Love your hair up too! A bit different than usual! Lol this looks & sounds yummy. I might have to try it! I’ve never made carbonara before. 😬😅

Agree, this is always how I made it ~
Valeria Ferrari I think the secret is that you only need to use the yolk for making carbonara, discarding the whites. I’ve always seen it done with egg yolks added at the end of the whole cooking process ☺️
@@putoffia could be, I always did it with yolk and white, and it turned out fine. But your idea sounds cool too :)
is pasta water still needed?
Can you explain what you mean by it doesn’t touch the bottom? Because in the video she had a cooled down saucepan with the bacon in it.
Italian watching in fear here 😉
We prefer olive oil to butter and onion to garlic, but apart from that this is a good carbonara recipe 🙂
And THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for not adding cream to it, I'm almost cryingbof joy 😀💖
Nothing involving bacon and eggs is hurt by butter
As an Italian, this is the best Carbonara i saw made from a not-italian person! 💛💛
really ? butter, garlic ? Bacon instead guanciale…. parmesan instead pecorino… whole egg instead yolk ? cooking technic is also some how "interesting"
no way you're joking right?
@@stejkozrout1712 just saw a cooking show from Rome and they made it just like this except they used oil instead of butter.
@@thetruthhurts6652 He is right with everything but the Yolk, and usualy you dont even put the guanchale/panceta in a pan with oil and NEVER butter
@@manenuljus5274 I dont know. I guess Romans could also make it wrong.
Thank you so much for the clear instructions! Every other video on this dish I have watched were way too complicated and were like 15 minutes plus… this video is awesome! Cheers!
You're super adorable and I enjoyed your instruction~I needed a little brush up as I've not done this in decades and my boy loves this! Thanks cutie! Great, simple, succinct instruction! Well done!
Can you please make a video on how you maintain your Le Creuset? I would love any tips you may have as your pots always look so pristine!
I love how happy she is 🥰
Literally just whipped this up, and it did scramble a little but I saved it; and it was pretty good! 😊 I will be trying again and agin and agin until I master this meal
Spot on! 👌 I had the scrambled egg issue before but not with this recipe and method! 👍thank you! Delicious!
My top tip for carbonara: "temper" your egg mixture with a ladle of the pasta water before throwing it in the pan! Foolproof. And this is after I too created a few 'scrambled eggs and pasta' dishes because, even though I'd taken my pan off the heat, it was still too hot.
another good tip is to let the pan cool off and cook the egg/cheese mixture with only heat from spaghetti
Can't wait to try this recipe, I do have a question- can you substitute the bacon for tomatoes?
are you crazy
@@FyreAndBlood I don't remember asking you. @honeysuckle I tried it with tomatoes, turned out sooo yummy!
Yes, and you can also replace the pasta with dried fir cone or roasted ants...
How long between letting it cool a little and mixing all through. Looks so good. I fear scrambled egg spaghetti if I attempt asap x lol
My thoughts
sorry i can't cook/ bacon(newbie). Is there any prepackaged meat i can add. I can cook scrambled eggs
❤ we love your happy energy❤
i love how you always get straight to the point in your videos ! this recipe came out great ! 😍🤗
With the hard part of the parmigiana block...quip it and put it in a marinara sauce..it’s gonna melt in and give so much flavor....💗
I love saving the rind for soups and sauces!!!! Adds sooo much flavor. Yum!
I have been craving this dish. Will try to make at home. If all fails will go to my favorite Italian restaurant lol.. I agree on buying fresh parmesan a little pricey but the flavor is worth it. I used to buy the bottled cheese 🤫😆
If I use cheddar will it work the same I don’t have Parmesan cheese but I really want it now 😩
Breakfast for dinner, great idea.
I will definitely make it for dinner
YUMMY LOOKING!!!
I made this for dinner last night. The sauce turned out perfect. I was amazed everyone enjoyed it. . . especially our fussiest eater. It was Delicious ❤️. Thank you Dzung 🌷🌿
I’m so happy to hear!! Its the best dish isn’t it?
@@honeysuckle It sure is. I love using your recipes
You made this look EASY. I may need to try it. We always have these ingredients at home. Thank you for sharing!!
All you have to do is not scramble the eggs
0:55 bells palsey😏😯🤔
Would you wanna sell me some of your bubbly personality? You're just fun to watch.🙂
I’m sorry, it’s just funny to me that you asked about buying some of that bubbly personality and your profile pic is of Trump. 😂😂😂
Hi Honeysuckle. I just made your carbonara recipe. It's delicious. I used vegetarian bacon and one extra egg. Thank you for teaching me this recipe. I will make it again and again.
EGGS
BACON
GRITS
SAUSAGE!!!!
😂😂😂
I was hoping someone would comment this 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Made this and I thought it was simply delicious, not complicated either, one of my favorite recipes.
Your hairstyle is so cuuute♡
Hi Dzung! Looks yummy but how would you reheat left overs?
you don't carbonara is a dish that is cooked and eaten straight away.
Just tried this recipe. This is one of my favorite dishes to order at Italian restaurants, but I’ve always been intimidated to make it at home. It was so delicious! Even my very picky family loved it. Thanks for the step by step directions! It was quick and easy. 😋
You are so adorable! I love this recipe. Thanks so much!!
what size is the white dutch oven
Can you share where to buy your spatula?
I also heard you can add a little of the hot pasta water to your egg mixture first. So you temper it a little before you pour over the pasta.
I tried this recipe today....and it was amazing ❤️
Ah I always wanted to try this recipe but its tricky, most of the time... yes it turns to scramble eggs😂 so I always ended use cooking cream. Thanks Dzung for sharing this! 💜
the egg mixture is added off the heat if you leave the pan on the flame they will scramble.
i made carbonara for first time and it was successful , thank u so much ❤🥰

A real carbonara? NEVER put Garlic, NEVER use parsley. WE (italians) cry when we see something like this. Ah! and just use yolks, not egg´s whites :)

Pancetta or bacon, finely diced (dices easier if frozen first)

1-2 tbsp of olive oil
1 pint of heavy whipping cream
¼ cup of fresh parsley, chopped
¼ - ½ cup Parmesan cheese

Freshly ground pepper

The way she talks is so cute 😍

I’m so happy to hear!! Anything to feed the kiddos these days. Mine has been protesting the past few days too!!
Im not a big fan of carbonara myself but my mother loves it so I will have to make this for her, it seems easy enough to make 😁
I wonder if this will work on spaghetti squash. Might turn out good too as oppose to pasta.
saw this and i immediately went to my kitchen to try, SO GLAD I SUCCEEDED BECOZ IM HUNGRY
I’m a chef and you saved my life lol
Thank you for the recipe!
In the past, I was always afraid of preparing pasta carbonara, but thanks to you and how easy you made it look I tried it and it came out great.
How cuteeeee😂😭🥺 if you were my sister you’ll be eaten in your first 5 min in the kitchen.
The spaghetti Carbonara pasta looks really delicious 😋

Tried this but change bacon with carrot & mushroom
I’m affraid of making omelete , so I mix the egg with cold broth. Just a little bit. Turn off the pan while mixing it. It worked
How do i judge that it is cooked after adding the hot pasta water?
The eggs are actually supposed to be a bit Raw, and only heated from the warm pasta
I made this and it turned out so well! I used spinach instead of bacon, delish!
I’ve never even heard of this dish but now that I saw your video I’ll definitely be trying it 👍🏾 by the way I made your carrot cake overnight oats and just had them for breakfast! Thanks for your recipes and your cheery personality 😊
which country are you in?
I have not like tried it yet but it looks so good Tammy in my tummy
Made that some weeks ago, its the best one so far, so easy, quick to make and the taste is divine. Goin to make that again today. Its such a good mix of carbonara/Alfredo pasta. Love it. Perfect craving recipe
I keep seeing this on asmr and it looks so delicious 😋

Love your videos
Best tutorial of Carbonara i've seen
Aren’t you only supposed to use egg yokes?
YUM!!!
I tried this and it was soooooooo good!
Cool recipe for carbonara

@@elepetitepeste what's hard about throwing an whole peeled garlic clove in the pan with the bacon?
Evie Addy nothing’s hard at all! Just not my cup of tea and not in the original recipe. If you want garlic go for it!
I made it last night with pecorino. But I also added garlic because garlic and bacon are life.
Adorable as ever ☺️☺️
Looks sooo yummy...must try cooking this 😘
But what if I’m weird and actually searched “scrambled eggs and spaghetti” 🤣😂
Love this pasta! I always put everything in a bowl and mix it with the hot Spaghetti
I love this 👏👏👏
Can you make this without cheese?
i'm your big fan from Viet Nam
I love your videos. I wish you made them more often like you used to. :-)
Great job. Looks amazing. I love this dish
Look at all the cooking experts in this comment section. Lolol.
You’re the cutest! Love your hair up too! A bit different than usual! Lol this looks & sounds yummy. I might have to try it! I’ve never made carbonara before. 😬😅
Every time I went to Italy, this was a must to have at least five times. Haha great video
This came out great!!! No scrambled eggs!!!! Yes!!!!
Just an FYI: the real traditional way is to use pecorino instead of parmesan, guanciale instead of bacon, no garlic, and tons of pepper,.
Looks so delicious......love this recipe, miss!
One of my favorites!!🤗😍
It looks delicious recipe 😋😊
This looks amazing
I followed your recipe I used the left over meatballs and T'was epic!!!! Thank u for my midnight snack! Yum
