Is Carbonara ACTUALLY American?

Video Description

Where is Carbonara REALLY from? That's a hard question to answer, because there are lots of stories about when and where carbonara began. BUT the first recipe for carbonara is a fact that hopefully we can all agree on. Here is the actual recipe from chefs Armando Lorenzini and Pierre Lencioni as it first appeared in "Vittles and Vice" by Patricia Bronté in 1952. Boil 1 ½ lbs of Tagliarini (thin wide noodles) according to the directions on the package. Meanwhile, chop and fry ½ pound of Mezzina (Italian Bacon). Drain the noodles and the bacon. Take 4 eggs and ¼ pound of grated Parmesan Cheese and lightly whip together. Mix everything together and toss over a flame. Serves four #carbonara #pasta #italianfood #cucinaitaliana #cooking
