Overview

Much like Spaghetti, this Pasta Carbonara recipe is another Italian classic that has been adapted to suit our local tastebuds. Traditionally, Pasta Carbonara is made thick using only egg yolks, which can be difficult especially for beginners. To learn how to cook this version of Pasta Carbonara, all you’ll need is a handful of ingredients such as our DEL MONTE Carbonara Sauce and bacon!
