Back to Basics: Pasta alla Carbonara

Pasta alla Carbonara is an iconic dish, mysterious in its origins and preparation, but respected by all as traditional Roman fare. Despite its disputed roots, the most authentic interpretation of the Carbonara is made with guanciale (pig jowl) and not pancetta. In addition to guanciale, the recipe calls for eggs yolks, an entire egg, grated pecorino cheese, salt and pepper. A simple yet savory recipe that Romans are proud to call their own. In this class, students will:

• Learn about the disputed origins of Pasta alla Carbonara
• Prepare the dish under the guidance of La Scuola’s instructor
• Enjoy the pasta dish with paired wine chosen by an Eataly sommelier
• Take home recipe and tasting notes

Nota Bene: For all cooking classes, cooking surfaces and burners are shared between members of your party. 

This class is in partnership with the Italian Trade Agency. Eataly's partnership with the Italian Trade Agency helps you expand your knowledge of authentic, centuries-old traditional Italian food and wine.
