I realized the last time I ordered a proper eggy carbonara, on Pasta Carbonara Day 2024, that I prefer the impure creamy Carbonara- the type found in the UK and Canada, that was my introduction to Carbonara.
Traditional eggy Carbonara was not easily found in Italian restaurants in Toronto until the past 15 years or so. I suspect the creamy Carbonara dominates Canadian Carbonara once you’re dining outside Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver.
