A lot of people like “Italian
Cooking” but what they really know about it ?
The majority of strangers eat
Italian food in their own countries, in restaurants that seems Italian but aren’t, cooked by
chefs came out of nowhere.I will just give you one example in order to show
you how this could work. Let’s try to find the Carbonara Recipe on internet.
I’ve typed on Google “ Carbonara Recipe” and I’ve found from bbcgoodfood the
following recipe:
Learn
to make Spaghetti Carbonara:
Ingredients: 400 g
spaghetti, 1 tbsp olive oil, 200 g smoked pancetta cubes or streaky bacon,
chopped, 2 garlic cloves, crushed, 3 eggs, 75 ml double cream, 50 g Grana padano
or parmesan, finely grated, plus extra to serve
Method:
1° Cook the
spaghetti. Bring a large, deep pan of salted water to the boil. Plunge
spaghetti into the water, stir well and cook, following pack instructions. Aim
for 'al dente': cooked, but retaining some bite in the middle. Take a few
strands out of the water with a spaghetti spoon or tongs 1-2 mins before the
end of the cooking time and bite into it. Repeat until you think it is properly
cooked.
2° Fry the pancetta.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan. When hot, tip in the pancetta or
streaky bacon. Fry over a medium heat until the fat in the meat has melted down
into the pan and the meat has turned lightly golden. Be careful not to crisp
the pancetta too much; it will be cooked a little bit more later on in the
recipe. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3° Prepare the sauce. Crack 2 of the eggs into a mixing bowl.
Separate the yolk from the third egg: gently crack the side of the shell and,
using both hands, slowly open it into two halves over a separate bowl - you
want to keep the yolk in one of the halves. Tip the yolk from one shell half to
the other and repeat until all the egg white has fallen into the bowl below,
taking care not to crack the yolk on any rough shell edges. Tip the yolk in
with the other eggs and beat together, along with the cream, the cheese and
some seasoning.
4° Combine the dish.
Add garlic to the pancetta and return frying pan to hob. Fry over high heat for
1 min or until garlic is cooked and pancetta warmed through. Meanwhile, drain
spaghetti. Tip back into the hot saucepan off the heat. Pour egg mixture over
pasta, followed by hot pancetta, garlic, any fat and oils. Toss quickly and
thoroughly with spaghetti spoon or tongs. Mix until it has thickened to a
smooth, creamy sauce. Serve with extra cheese and freshly ground pepper.
Do
you think an Italian cooks “Spaghetti alla Carbonara” in this manner ???
None, only between the ingredients there are 5
errors.
Here's the Italian recipe.
Spaghetti alla Carbonara
Ingredients:
350 g spaghetti, 150 jowl bacon chopped into cubes, 4 eggs, 100 g of
Pecorino
Method:
1° Cook the
spaghetti. Bring a large, deep pan of water to the boil, then add salt, not as
usual, because jowl bacon and pecorino are salty. Plunge spaghetti into the
water, stir well and cook, following pack instructions. Aim for 'al dente':
cooked, but retaining some bite in the middle. Take a few strands out of the
water with a spaghetti spoon or tongs 1-2 mins before the end of the cooking
time and bite into it. Repeat until you think it is properly cooked.
2° Fry jowl bacon chopped without oil
in a frying pan. Fry over a medium heat until the fat in the meat has melted
down into the pan and the meat has turned lightly golden. Be careful not to
crisp the pancetta too much. Remove from the heat and set aside until it will
become lukewarm.
3° Prepare the
sauce. Crack 4 of the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat together, along with the
cheese and some black pepper.
4° Combine
the dish. Add to the sauce to jowl bacon in the bowl. Meanwhile, drain
spaghetti. Put the drained spaghetti into the bowl. Toss quickly and thoroughly
with spaghetti spoon or tongs. Mix until it has created to a smooth, creamy
sauce. Serve with pepper.
