carbonara, and other controversies

A few times I wasn’t paying attention and the eggs in my carbonara set, becoming spaghetti with scrambled eggs. It was pretty good anyway. And I love ramen noodles in omelets, but no way is that carbonara.

It’s not so much if it is authentic or not but cream makes it always just way too unbalanced and fat-forward and mask the flavor of the pork.

I don’t like the taste of the egg in the pasta sauce. I also don’t like the texture of the sauce.

I’ll stick with amatriciana or cacio e pepe.

I back this. The ham and pineapple play well, but the jala is something that just works to make that combo sing.
