CARBONARA of the SEA!!!. Carbonara (Italian: [karboˈnaːra]) is an Italian pasta dish from Rome made with egg, hard cheese, cured pork, and black pepper. The dish arrived at its modern form, with its current name. However, Filipino style carbonara uses cream and milk, for this dish we added tuna to make it healthier and tastier.

Maybe part of the issue is the salt level of the meats we've all used? Regardless, DO NOT ADD the full amount of salt to the pasta water. For everyone who said that this Carbonara is too salty - table salt is double as salty as Kosher salt, so remember to cut the amount of salt in half if using table salt. Especially the spaghetti carbonara done traditional Italian style without the use of cream.

Peanut butter jelly milkshake too jelat alrd. Vincent Tan: One of the best kept secret location in Singapore. Try the one with sea coconut. The majority of chefs agree that "true" carbonara has guanciale and not bacon or pancetta, although both make fine substitutions. The key to good spaghetti alla carbonara, like any good piece of cooking (and especially this one), is the quality of the ingredients.
