  1. i need help, was making fries, after i cut and soak them in water with a lil' salt and then i wanted to drain the water so its dry, when i came back its like… purple brownish with a weird texture and smell.. smells like indoor pool…….. what did i do wrong??!?!?! i lost half of my fries 🙁

  2. Not bad, but the Italian food wankers will be all over this for the extra topping and ingredients lol. I suspect that was the engagement game plan! As a non Italian the only thing i would say is fresh pasta to me is good for only a couple of dishes, its very soft and its egg based. you can see at the end the how congealed it looks with the sauce. You cant beat a good dried pasta so the sauce coats the pasta in a really light way and it still has some bite. This dish is all about balance and it shouldn't look as heavy as this does here

  3. Nick, its very very good and i like the use of pasta water!. " things to improve though(as a pure italian), guanciale fat must go in the egg mixture before adding it to the pasta and also grate some black pepper into the egg mixture, then use the bioling pot of pasta water to heat the eggs, do this by placing egg mixture on top of pasta water and the steam will gently gently cook it otherwise it was great!

  4. Overall, this Carbonara was pretty good! You used the correct 5 ingredients, but I’m sorry, but have to give this an 8/10 overall. Negative points because in Roman or other traditional Italian pasta dishes like Carbonara, you don’t need parsley or breadcrumbs, plus they’re both not traditional. If you want to make it look prettier or fancier when you plate it, you can add some more grated Pecorino cheese over it for garnish, and/or you can save some pieces of Guanciale, also garnish with. This Carbonara is still at least better than the Americanized cream version though! I know you said that this is your first time making a real Carbonara, and that you might get some things incorrect though. There’s room for improvement!

  5. When making pasta dough, if you need to add water, keep a dedicated spray bottle. That way, when you give the dough a quick spray, it covers the dough evenly and makes incorporating it so much easier. This works great when making pie crust as well.

  6. Sorry but perfect would have included dried pasta di semola di grana duro
    That is the type of pasta you should use for carbonara…

  7. Nick made a fatal mistake, we don't need breadcrumbs that part is a waist of time, Fresh pasta changes the flavor of Carbonara, and also YOU DIDNT TASTE THE PASTA, NOT APPROVED

  8. Italians don't eat carbonara with freshly made egg pasta, sorry, the fact you don't understand why makes you a bad cook with not much food knowledge

  9. Americans cant cook, this is very bad, sorry. You should not use fresh pasta and your technique is very poor.

  10. hi, from Italy here.
    for the carbonara, there are lots of different variation. The most common in italy is without pan grattato. Morover, it's unusual using fresh pasta, because fresh pasta already is made with eggs.

  11. Pretty good tbh I like the panko breadcrumb in the end maybe use the pasta water to the carbonara sauce to incorporate better

  12. He forgot to trim the outside of the guanciale off. The herbs that are used when curing will burn when cooking the guanciale and give it a bitter taste.
