How to Cook Like an Italian: Part 1 ๐ฎ๐น
No cream! No peas! Chef Gabe Bertaccini is breaking down the law of authentic Italian Spaghetti Carbonara โ and showing you how to never end up with a scrambled egg mess again. He strips away the Americanized modifications to show you how a classic Roman pasta is made using nothing but a handful of ingredients, residual heat and proper technique.
Stick around until the end to see how Gabe uses the same rich, savory Italian building block ingredients (like egg yolks, Pecorino Romano and Parmigiano-Reggiano) into an epic Kale Caesar Salad made with Tuscan kale ๐ฅฌโจ
Born and raised in Florence, Chef Gabe Bertaccini brings the authentic, no-nonsense traditions of Italian cuisine straight to your kitchen, showing you what it truly means to Cook Like an Italian ๐ฎ๐น
