“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 –

  1. If you put the "pasta water" into the sauce before it was salted, it means noone cooked any pasta in that water, so its not pasta water its just water without the salt and the starch. 🙂

  2. It's almost funny to see how for non-Italians this chef has shared his intimate culinary secrets with normal people. in reality Italians make it exactly the same way without the need for a chef.

  3. Creamy is entirely the wrong word in english to describe whats happening to the eggs sauce. He is in truth making a savoury "custard" with them. In italian you might call it "zabaglione". If you tell an english chef to make a custard with chesse , eggs and bacon oil it makes perfect sense. Not creamy at all. Cream is milk based. Although it may look creamy its nothing to do with milk. its just a thickening as the egg yolks start to set and the difference is important. Cream will split, egss will go rock solid. With the eggs you dont let them combine into just one mass. You move them constantly bringing them up to a temperature where the eggs have time to combine the other ingredients and the protiens can break down in a manageable way. Carbonara is pasta with a chees custard. However the guanciloe is very important as bacon wont get you there. Thanks for showing me your technique and though i understand how it works it will now change how i make this dish. Always learning. 😁

  4. I'm soooo hungry right now. That looks delicioso! I can't find a place that can make this that looks as good as this anywhere!

  5. ボールにソースに入れてからの混ぜ合わせる時間が予想以上に多くて驚きました。

  6. How come he says 'you don't need a lot of salt for the pasta water' but seemed to use quite a lot to me! Is anyone else able to shed some light on this for me? 🙂

  7. Flipping fantastic. Favorite Carbonara video and even top ten for food prep. Wish to see that kitchen in action. Oh and I absolutely love all the black pepper. Great job Chef!

  8. 20 minutazos para un plato de espaguetti a la carbonara… Ese plato se marca 8 o 10 mins como maximo. No por estar media hora removiendo la pasta al baño maria te van a quedar mas buenos…

  9. Дуже цікаво спостервгати за процесом поиготування справжньої карбонари,чим можна замінити Гуанчале?
