However, it is a derivative creation of international chefs since the early 20th century. In Rome, we will find Carbonara in its authentic and traditional form. The original Carbonara recipe is quite simple: a pinch of black pepper, grated pecorino, sliced ​​guanciale (pork cheek), and the addition of a raw egg yolk for added flavor and creamy texture.
