can someone out there give me a good recipe for spaghetti carbonara per favore?

Question

Also advice on how to split the egg white from the yolk!

Answer 1

When cooking you need to just throw things in... haha no measuring... it works the best

You need a carton of cream, an onion, some bacon, mushrooms, white wine, nutmeg and spaghetti

Cut the onion and bacon up, throw it into a pan and cook until its just cooked, then add a splash of wine, 1/2cup... and let that cook a but until its nearly all gone, pour in the cream and add the mushrooms. Turn the heat up and let it reduce and go thick. Add a pinch of nutmeg to taste.

Cook the spaghetti while your doing all that... the sauce will be thick, oh then you add the sauce to the spaghetti and add the egg white... and stir it through...

to separate the egg white from the yolk.. you can do it the clean way or the messy way ...

clean way... crack the egg, brake it and tilt it so the egg yolk falls into one half of the shell, then tip it back into the other side of the shell, make sure you have a bowl underneath, keep doing this until the white is off the yolk

messy way .. crack the shell and tip the egg into your hand and slightly separate your fingers and let the white fall into the bowl underneath

have fun cooking... remember... you cant fail... you can only get take away if it doesn't work out haha

just to let you know that egg starts to cook at 40c/104f so you dont need to cook it once the egg white has gone into the pasta, as long as its still warm

Answer 2

Spaghetti alla Carbonara Recipe


The classic charcoal maker's spaghetti, made with eggs and cheese.
Many recipes call for cream, but this is not traditional. The creaminess from the eggs and cheese, cooked by the heat of the pasta, is enough. If pancetta is unavailable you can use a good quality, lean bacon. Living in the south I sometimes use country ham pieces.


Spaghetti alla Carbonara
Charcoal Maker's Spaghetti
Ingredients


1 pound spaghetti
2 Tbs butter
3 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta, cut into thin strips
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 eggs
4 Tbs parmigianno-reggiano cheese, freshly grated
1 Tbs finely chopped, flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
salt
freshly ground, black pepper
Directions


Bring 4 quarts of water to boil in a large pot.
Put the butter and olive oil in a skillet, over a medium heat. When the butter is melted add the pancetta and onion. Cook until the onion is translucent and the pancetta is well browned, but not crisp.
Add the white wine and continue cooking until it has reduced by about half. Remove from the heat.
When the water is boiling add the salt and pasta, stirring until it is submerged.
In a mixing bowl (I usually use a microwavable serving bowl that I'll add the pasta too) lightly beat the eggs with the cheese, parsley, a pinch of salt, and a generous amount of fresh black pepper.
When the pasta is cooked al dente, return the skillet with the pancetta and onion to a high heat.
Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl with the egg and cheese mixture. Toss well, until the pasta is coated with the egg and cheese.
Add the onion and pancetta. Toss again.
If necessary, pop the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. Don't cook longer, or the pasta will be too dry.
Serve immediately.

Answer 3

you've gotten some good carbonara recipes ... the second is most like my own, but i use bacon instead of priscuitto or pancetta ... it cooks up the same way, but has a different, less salty flavor. yum.

to seperate an egg from it's yolk, take the egg firmly in one hand and crack it gently on the countertop (not the side of the bowl.) holding the cracked egg over the bowl, gently pull the two halves apart, turning them upright (like little bowls) as you do. dump out the eggshell that does NOT contain the yolk. then, gently, pass the yolk back and forth between the two cracked egg shells, using the edge of one shell to "cut" the white from the yolk.

i usually have to pass the yolk back and forth a couple of times.

or you can go the easy route and crack the egg, dump the entire thing in your hand, and let your fingers "sift" the white through into the bowl. you're left holding the yolk, which you can just dump right down the sink.

then you have the yolk left in the eggshell, and you can either throw it out, or if you might use it later, you can freeze it. just put about a teaspoon of water in an ice tray, then add the yolk. it will freeze and save for up to 90 days that way. when you're ready to use it, thaw it out in a bowl and dump off any excess water, holding the yolk in the bowl with the back of a spoon.

Answer 4

just make a small hole in top of the egg u hold and then slowly turn it down and keep on turning till the white pours if the yolk comes just turn in the oppposite side

this is a trick

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA

6 egg yolks
2 cups whipping cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
500 g bacon, cut into ½” length
½ cup onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic
½ tsp. oregano
olive oil
½ cup white wine
750 g spaghetti

Mix first 5 ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Fry bacon with med heat until most of the fat is released, but before it becomes crispy. Remove fat as it is produced. Use a large pot, pasta will be added to this later.

Add white wine and oregano. Reduce the wine at low to med heat.

Add onion and garlic to bacon and sauté for 10-15(?) minutes. Add olive oil for the last few minutes.

About half ways through step 4 begin to boil the spaghetti. When spaghetti is ready, mix it into the bacon.

Mix in the cream mixture, one half at a time.

As for spliting the egg white from the yolk you crack the egg in half and make sure that only the egg white fall out and then you remove the yolk to another plate.
