Bucatini Carbonara
RECIPE COURTESY OF GUY FIERI
Level: Easy
Total: 30 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups 1/4-inch diced pancetta
1 cup 1/4-inch diced yellow onion
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
5 large eggs
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 pound bucatini pasta
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

Directions

Cook the pancetta in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp and the fat has rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Add the onions to the pan with the drippings and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and then reduce the heat to keep warm.

Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a large bowl (reserve the whites to use in another recipe). Whisk together the egg yolks and half the Parmigiano-Reggiano and season with salt and pepper. Add the egg mixture to a large stainless bowl with the onions and mix well.

Cook the pasta in salted, boiling water until al dente (according to pasta directions). When the pasta is just about finished, strain the pasta and transfer directly from the pot of water to the mixing bowl with the onions. Using tongs, mix well so the egg mixture coats the pasta evenly and cooks from the residual heat. Add about 3/4 cup of pasta water to fortify the sauce. Fold in the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano, crisped pancetta (reserve a little for garnish) and season with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved pancetta and parsley.

Hey Guy! Just wanted to say hello from Santa Rosa. My daughter and I used to eat at Johnny Garlic’s at least 3-4 times a week and you always treated us so well. You’d remember us if you saw us again. Glad you’re doing so well. You deserve it. Love your food!💕

[kathlynterry]

Heck, my mouth started watering exactly 12 minutes and fifty-one seconds ago.

[GregCurtin]

You can like or hate him but he is one of the best teachers on television. Guy and Tyler Florence will always leave better educated and a better home chef.

[timpyle]

It’s definitely his version but for the traditionalist out there.

Guanciale over pancetta
Pecorino Romano over Parmesan
No onions
More black pepper

[Ninoy]

You just got to love him for his best attitude. Bello.

[westfalia]

Like all great Italian pasta dishes, the phase “this is how we make ours…” always rings true. That is what makes cooking for other so pleasurable! Nice step back! Skillet

[dianadambrosio]

Oh yea ..making this. Thank you for all of your critical info to make this the right way …you are still one of the best Guy

[skoorb]

I don’t think i have ever seen Guy so focused before. Loved this

[shawnsargent]

I love Guy, been following his career for a long time now. I have never made this dish and yet after this tutorial I'm feeling really confident.

[jennifercamille]

[MegaFortinbras]

When I make carbonara, I use guincale and pecorino romano.

[suzettepfleider]

This is one version I love, and for sure I'm gonna make it exactly like this.

[schung]

Agreed! Guy and Tyler are natural teachers of cooking simply because they both possess the economy of words. :))

[toonheaded]

Love the way he teaches and all the little tips he gives are great

[devakikaren]

Love watching this man even tho I can't eat this cause of my high cholesterol. Learned a lot about cooking pasta (wch I love) and many other cooking tips. Will be looking up more of Guy Fieri's cooking lessons.

Vincenzo's Plate, here we come :D
Even though this is not authentic, I do like how Guy Fieri explains everything that is happening. The tips were very important

[lisalisalisa]

Bucatini and carbonara, two of my favorite, combined! 🎉

[Aldocello]

Cream the eggs and cheese in the bowl over the pastas boing water right before the pasta is ready, double boiler style, add some of the pancetta fat , drop the pasta in the bowl , mix in the bowl, add pasta water as needed to emulsify and get that creamy finish were looking for, add the pancetta, ( parsley if desired), top with some fresh parm .... SERVE 😊🇮🇹🇺🇸
