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.

The tradition of rubbing the bronze statue of Juliet in Verona pretty "patted" the monument, which caused an urgent need to replace it with a copy. Touching the three-dimensional image of one of the main characters of the Shakespearean play seeks all those who do not add up to a romantic relationship. However, over the years, after tens of thousands of tourists touched the statue of Capulet, it lost its former appearance and was removed from the courtyard of the house of Juliet (Casa di Giulietta) in Verona.
At BlogoItaliano, we repeatedly talked about the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican and its significance for world culture. There is a good reason for a new story. At the end of 2014, the Capella hosted the presentation of the LED lighting system, thanks to which visitors will be able to see the Renaissance masterpieces in the literal sense of the word in a new perspective.
If you are planning to visit Venice, be sure to include in the plan of your discoveries a small but very bright fishing village called Burano.

So, you are the happy owner of a Schengen visa and are ready to travel, or you have taken the advice from the article “Italy: how to open a visa to a citizen of Belarus” and are going to open it. It's time to consider an equally important moment of the trip, namely the road and the way of transportation. Regarding the countries of the former Soviet Union, Italy is by no means our neighbor.
In the course of research at two Italian universities, Sassari and Cagliari, an innovative “chemical exfoliation” technology was developed that allows the windows to “self-clean” using only sunlight. The new development is another way to use the material, for the study of which in 2010, scientists have already received the Nobel Prize.
Despite the fact that the overload of Syrian chemical weapons in the Italian port of Gioia Tauro caused a lot of discontent and concern among the population, local workers hope that it will be able to positively affect the work of the largest port in the Mediterranean Sea. About 560 tons of hazardous chemicals arrived at their destination a few days ago and are now being thoroughly tested.
According to Italian media, the local police managed to decipher the text, which is certainly used when initiating newcomers into the ranks of one of the largest and oldest criminal organizations in the country. Earlier this year, as part of the investigation into the murder of one of the mafia leaders, Vincenzo Femia, a special raid was carried out on one of the streets of the Italian capital.
Despite the fact that fewer and fewer Italians look at shops on the eve of Easter, this holiday is still very popular in a country whose residents (41 percent) still prefer to see Easter lamb cooked according to a traditional recipe, surrounded by vegetables. It is such data that the Italian Association of Farmers Coldiretti received by conducting a survey before the great holiday.
