In a particular period like the one we are living in, we Italians still manage to focus on the important things: the carbonara! A “simple” dish in Italy, but truly complex in the rest of the world, so much so that even the great chef Gordon Ramsay is not exempt from criticism.
The carbonara of discord
We start from the assumption that carbonara is one of the most loved dishes by Italians, capable of creating a real media mess. You will surely remember the French carbonara who went around the world, receiving millions of "not very nice" comments from Italians. But why show off making a recipe that makes simplicity its greatest strength complicated? The 4 ingredients: Pecorino, bacon, pepper and egg, seem perhaps too little to give a strong taste to the pasta, and then here are the revisitations. Bacon, various grated cheeses, CREAM, zucchini, onion and so on and so forth.
Gordon Ramsay's carbonara
Chef Ramsay certainly didn't make mistakes like the ones above, as we've really talked about extreme cases. But his carbonara leaves something to be desired, considering that we are talking about the most famous Chef in the world! A photo that caused a sensation and that has sparked thousands of comments from Italians, from the Romans who invite him to Rome to try a real Carbonara, to those who even give him cooking tips. But the fact is that on average a photo of Gordon Ramsay has 1.000 comments while this is almost 6.000! But let's see what chef Ramsay did to deserve this social revolt:
come on, after all it doesn't look bad, but we know that Italians shouldn't touch carbonara!
The Italian recipe of carbonara
While we are here we want to propose the authentic Roman recipe to prepare Carbonara. This recipe is often modified according to taste, but the changes are limited to a little Parmesan mixed with pecorino, a little cooking water or maybe a few more seconds to mix ... no zucchini, cream, onion and heresies similar.
