'King of Carbonara' shares his Pasta Recipe - Food in Rome

A visit to Luciano Cucina Italiana in Rome, Italy, to watch Chef Monosilio preparing Spaghetti Carbonara, his signature dish, which brought him the nickname King of Carbonara. Receiving a Michelin Star at the sweet age of 27 years, he later decided to open a more casual style restaurant which is his current Luciano Cucina Italiana in the Centre of Rome -

Luciano Monosilio recipe of Cacio e Pepe:

Tell you what I loved. He went to plate it and decided it wasn’t right and went back and tossed it with some more pasta water. No ego for the camera. He knew he needed to go back and did it. That’s a real chef who knows what he wants.

Honest cooking at its purest. His approach defines the very Italian way of cooking. Love it, apply it!

A good chef will prepare awesome food for you, but only a great chef shares his knowledge with everyone, trains young people and explains things in a way that will make people succeed. Thank-you chef Monosilio !

"we put less salt" - adds half the box, I love this video. great job cooking and nice filming and editing

I loved this video. I was taken to Luciano about 9 years ago by a Roman friend. I ordered the carbonara and the chef allowed me to watch the preparation. It was a highlight of that trip. The dish was heavenly. I still remember the taste and texture. Divine.

Isn't it refreshing that it's filming how to cook a dish, concentrating of the food, chef skills and method without any frustrating camera angles of facial shots just food, equipment and method. It's a shame that the UK BBC ITV etc doesn't take notice and do the same. Thanks for uploading people. Proper carbonara.

it's an honor that a chef shares his family recipe with the whole world.. and with those special plates that have this exact recipe on it i really thinks this one comes from a very special place of this chefs heart. thank you very much for this!

So much pride in his work - that is missing these days - grazie

I just love seeing people who are passionate of what they do and this dude literally lives carbonara. The way he was ready to plate but chose not to since the consistency wasnt what he desired and just went back to it ignoring the camera was perfection.

My wife and I were lucky enough to eat at Luciano's in Dec 23. The carbonara lived up the hype. Simple flavors perfectly executed. No one flavor overpowers another and every flavor is present in the dish it is perfectly balanced. absolutely wonderful.

Went to his restaurant last summer… the carbonara was absolutely fantastic. Best I’ve ever had

The greatest pasta dish on earth. Carbonara is something I still work at perfecting, this inspired me to try again. The ingredients are so simple yet it’s an art to balance those flavors and get the cream right. Loved how he returned for more water at the end. That dish is all about the details.

"we make small cubes" - makes huge cubes
"we put less salt" - adds a ton of salt
"Guanciale has to be hot" - Guanciale is at room temperature
"now is ready" - adds more water and continues stirring
... I love this guy :D

Why am I watching this while hungry? Looks incredible - Carbonara is my favorite!!! Thank you for sharing...

[IrishAnnie]

That is the most beautiful plate of pasta I have ever seen……❤

[Crz_YT]

Not only he is so generous to share his recipe in this video, but he even gives business cards with the same recipe written on them for everyone that wants in his restaurant!

[HennyvilleX]

One has to admire people who take pride in what they do. Carbonara is the queen of pasta sauces and represents the italian kitchen very well: only a few ingredients, so quality and expertise makes the difference.

This is ❤-food! The love of making every dish perfectly balanced! That is what a Cook makes a Chef!

I learned to love cooking like this in Italy myself, when I was a boy of 10-11 years old, making pasta from scratch. And now, at 60 years of age, I am still doing it this way, with ❤❤❤❤

Finally, the king is speaking English! I watched other videos where he speaks italian and i was trying to figure out what he's saying. Thank you so much for this video!
