There are many cooking options for spaghetti alla carbonara. Try to cook the most classic version of this dish. Let's see what ingredients we need for cooking spaghetti alla carbonara for 4 people:
360 grams of spaghetti;
250 grams of guanchale;
Pecorino Romano cheese;
5 eggs;
Black pepper peas;
Olive oil (only if you use bacon, not guanchale).
Guanchale looks like bacon, but that’s a completely different thing. This is pork cheek, it has more fat, so you do not need to use oil. If you have not found guanchale, you can use bacon. Then you will need to add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Pecorino Romano is sheep’s cheese. It tastes very salty and satisfying. If you have not found pecorino romano, you can use parmesan. First you need to clean the guanchal from the skin, then cut it into pieces. Let's start making the sauce. We will need eggs and cheese. How many eggs and cheese do you need for the sauce? 2-4 persons:
1 whole egg;
1 yolk and 2 tablespoons of cheese per person.
Example: serving for 4 people - 1 whole egg + 4 yolks + 8 tablespoons of cheese. 5-8 persons:
2 whole eggs;
1 yolk and 2 tablespoons of cheese per person.
Example: serving for 8 people - 2 whole eggs + 8 yolks + 16 tablespoons of cheese. Serving of pasta per 1 person = 90-100 grams. Beat the eggs with a fork, add a lot of pepper and no cream! Add cheese, mix - the sauce is ready. Put the water on a strong fire. Now we will cook the guanchal over medium heat. No onions need to be added! Cook the guanchal until it is a little crispy. Guanchale is ready, look how much fat came from it. Meanwhile, the water was already boiling. Add one tablespoon of salt and paste to the water. Never add oil! To prepare the paste, it will take about 10-11 minutes. The pasta is ready. Drain the pasta through a colander. Never wash the pasta! Now add the pasta to the frying pan with the finished guanchal and hold it a little over medium heat, stirring occasionally. This procedure is needed to make the pasta even tastier, the Italians say: "Mantecare". Now add the sauce. No fire, because we don’t want to eat scrambled eggs! Stir the pasta so that it is saturated with the sauce. Real Italian carbonara is ready. It remains to lay the paste on a plate with a slide, decorating the top with crispy guanchal.

Taberna De 'Gracchi Restaurant is just a 10-minute walk from the Vatican Museums. Yana and I found this place on the recommendation of friends, since we had been looking for a tasty restaurant for lunch in the Prati area for a long time. But in order to whet your appetite, let's plunge a little into history, because the name of the restaurant and the street already has so many interesting things!

A couple of days ago it became known that the residence of the Pope in the small town of Castel Gondolfo, which is located on the shores of a picturesque lake near Rome, will open its doors to visitors. Shortly after the Epiphany, the new director of the residence at Castell Gandolfo, Osavaldo Gianoli, took over and replaced his predecessor, Saverio Petrillo.
The popular resort of Rimini, located on the Adriatic coast, attracts the attention of many tourists not only with magnificent beaches, modern entertainment facilities and luxury shops, but also with very interesting historical and architectural objects. Sights of Rimini are located both in the city itself and in its environs.
Ravenna is a rather quiet and cozy town in the Emilia-Romagna region, who managed to visit the capital several times - first the Roman Empire, then the Ostrogoth state, as well as the Landgobar kingdom and the Ravenna exarchate. Each regular ruler tried to celebrate his presence with the construction of new palaces and temples, as well as the decoration of existing ones, which made Ravenna one of the main centers of Italian architectural and mosaic art.
Subjectively for me, Venice is much more interesting than Milan, however, I am sure that not all share this point of view. But in any case, Venice and Milan are not so far from each other that it was impossible to combine a visit to both cities within the same trip. That is why BlogoItaliano decided to pay special attention to how to get from Milan to Venice and back.
There is an opinion that with excursions in Milan is stressful. Allegedly, this is a business city and there is nothing special to watch there. But this is not so: the history of Milan is rich in vibrant events, the city itself is full of sights, and in its vicinity there will be enough interesting places even for a very long vacation. That is why I asked Oksana, a guide in Milan, about whom I wrote a personal review, to compile a TOP list of interesting excursions, which are most popular among travelers.
BlogoItaliano continues a series of articles on Italy's most interesting places to buy tickets online. Having talked about Venice and Florence in previous posts, today the topic of our review is Sights of Rome. Since there are a lot of those in the Eternal City, we selected only the most interesting ones.
