Cooking with Passion: Carbonara

History

Carbonara: a pasta dish so divine, it'll make you forget about your ex.

Legend has it that Carbonara was created in the 1950s by Italian chefs who had no eggs, no cheese, and no shame.

They threw some spaghetti, bacon, and parmesan at each other, and voilà! Carbonara was born.

Today, we still use the same ingredients, but now we have better lighting and more Instagram followers.

So if you ever find yourself in Rome, with an egg and some bacon, just remember: Carbonara's the answer.

Ingredients

• Spaghetti (long and sad
• Bacon (because why not
• Egg (for the drama)
• Parmesan (because you're fancy)
• Milk (for the tears)

Instructions

2. Add some bacon, because you're feeling extra.
3. Crack an egg, because you're feeling dramatic.
4. Spiral the spaghetti, because you're feeling artistic.
5. Add some parmesan, because you're feeling gouda.
