Tips

There is a school that says no cream in the original spaghetti Carbonara and just as many people saying yes.. There is surely no Miracoli spice mix in most versions, but it is really a nice touch. If you can use some bacon cooked. It adds additional fat and you can reduce the amount of butter. It’s just not for me due to the E number in the process of bacon production, so the prosciutto is a close second.
