Spaghetti alla Carbonara is a dish whose birth is relatively recent, however, whose origins are not at all certain.
Four assumptions are circulating, as none is more credited than the others, everyone can choose between them.
Yes or No?
The original recipe for spaghetti alla carbonara has about 200 kcal per 100 grams, so it's definitely not a recipe, that can not sated enough, unless you take too many calories and hence weight gain. As for the amatriciana, however, the pillow is not a food to be deleted, and can indeed be effectively used to prepare recipes, along with eggs and cheese, but in the right proportions and especially with the addition of vegetables to increase the fill the pot. Thus he created the recipe for spaghetti alla carbonara.
Origin of spaghetti alla carbonara
The first dates back to the so-called spaghetti alla carbonara carbinai, people in the woods produced by burning coal, burning slow. That argument does not hold for many, provided that job away from home lasting one season and the eggs were right for such long periods without preservation techniques.
The second argument assumes that the carbonara was invented by a chef who was a member of the Carbonari, the group of revolutionaries who fought against the Austrian occupation of northern Italy, active from the end of '700 and Guarro Italian independence.
According to the third case, particularly evocative, the story of this dish dates back to 1945 when American troops entered Rome at the end of World War II. When they went in asking Roman trattoria for lunch eggs, bacon and noodles, the typical Chinese noodles, then much in vogue in America than Italian. The chefs met the Romans in their request serving bacon, fried eggs and a plate of spaghetti unseasoned and bland result. To remedy this situation the American soldiers all mixed up, creating, unbeknownst to them, the ancestor of the famous dish.
A final hypothesis dates back to the pot Neapolitan origins, to be exact to the Duke of Buonvicino Ippolito Cavalcanti, publisher in 1837 of "The theoretical and practical kitchen." It would appear that in the very first edition of this book appeared a recipe very similar to what we know today.
As for the amatriciana, even spaghetti carbonara are the subject of endless wrangling among fans of the kitchen. The argument here hinges on the type of fat used (bacon or bacon?) And especially the presence or absence of egg whites, egg and baking on the use of cream, and finally on the quality of the cheese.
Spaghetti alla carbonara in the egg does not cook but only thicken slightly, then it should never exceed 70 degrees, not to reach the temperature of coagulation of the yolk. Fundamental then add after turning off the flame and seasoned with spaghetti sauce, stir quickly and serve immediately to prevent the dough from becoming too cold. The cream is recommended in many recipes because, when added in small quantities, it helps not to curdle the egg and adds creaminess to the dish.
The recommended amount of eggs from one to head to one for every two people, many recommend that you use only the yolk, others only remove half of egg whites, and others to keep only one fourth of egg whites.
In our view, the whites are needed to make the sauce more creamy, so we think that 4 people can use either 2 eggs or 2 eggs and 2 yolks.
In our opinion, the recipe for spaghetti alla carbonara should consider using a good bacon, very difficult to find high quality, perhaps only in Trentino or Ireland, where they produce a smoked bacon at a low temperature (not aged) perfect this dish. Those who are not able to obtain these culinary gems, will not fall back on a craft or bacon on a good pillow, easier to find.
The cheese of choice is the Pecorino Romano, but the recipe comes out well with good parmesan cheese or sheep's milk cheese and other cheeses.
