Carbonara Sauce

Carbonara Sauce

Everyday

Carbonara is a classic Roman pasta sauce characterized by its velvety emulsion of raw eggs, aged cheeses like Pecorino Romano, and rendered cured pork fat from guanciale or pancetta. Unlike cream-based sauces, its signature texture comes from combining hot pasta with eggs to create a rich coating without scrambling. This indulgent sauce provides substantial protein from eggs and cheese but is high in saturated fat and sodium due to its cured meat content.
