Carbonara Recipe By Chef Felix Chong

In our latest professional series entry, Chef Felix Chong from Monti shows us how to make a true Roman carbonara dish. 

Guanciale, or at least pancetta should be use for that alluring smoky cured aroma and flavour. Pecorino Romano, and not any other cheese should be used. And for each portion, 2 whole egg yolks are required to make the cream sauce. And no actual cooking cream should be added at all.

In a hot pan, add 100g of chopped guanciale and fry for a few minutes to render the fat. Season with some black pepper. At the same time, cook your pasta for in boiling water until 80 percent cooked next to the pan of guanciale.
