NO CREAM!!!

I had the carbonara at a restaurant in Rome. (How could I not order it?) We met a large group of my family there. It was a great meal and a highlight of our trip.

Che bella, grazie, ma per favore usa solo gli spaghetti Pastificio Faella da Gragnano! Il migliore! E mai il meatball e ananas ????????

Ottimi prodotti e le lorio carni sono eccellenti.

Everybody uses that much egg?

And so little pepper - I thought Romans love pepper?

From memory, like such poverty foods as piaella, carbonara is made with whatever scraps of food are at hand.
I was told that it was originally created by an Italian charcoal burner during WWII as a meal for some hungry GIs who were fighting their way North.
