Pasta carbonara with milk

The legendary cuisine of Italy is strikingly different from the traditional Slavic. They even prepare individual products differently than in our country. As a result, the most similar dishes will taste very different. But, having tried many dishes of the sunny country, our people are delighted with them and want to cook at home. Thus, Italian cafes and restaurants are opened, serving lasagna, pizza and, of course, the famous carbonara pasta.


Let's take the last dish. Carbonara is a classic pasta sauce with bacon. Why not cook it at home? After all, now you can buy all the products to cook the famous spaghetti with cream sauce. Bacon, eggs, Parmesan cheese and good pasta can be found in any large supermarket.

One clarification. Pasta is often prepared with high-fat cream. They add calories to the dish and thicken the sauce. We will try to replace it with milk. In this case, the gravy will not be as thick, and it is great for those who like rarer dressings.

It can not only diversify the table, but also easily turn it into a festive one. The simple step-by-step instructions show how and in what sequence to cook each component so that the dish turns out delicious in every way.

Advice: Cheese can also be substituted for the bacon carbonara sauce recipe. If you can't find the original Parmesan, other spicy-tasting cheeses from a trusted dairy manufacturer will do the trick instead.

Advice: if you want to get a really tasty dish, don't buy cheap pasta, which can boil into "porridge" or stick together, and their taste will not be very pleasant. Choose durum wheat spaghetti from a reputable brand: they will come out just right and keep their consistency when served.

Pasta carbonara with bacon and milk, prepared according to the proposed recipe, is ready. But the work of the hostess does not end there. The dish must also be served in the right way in order to fully enjoy its taste.

How to serve pasta carbonara

In addition to interesting dishes, Italy is famous for the art of their selection and beautiful presentation. How is pasta prepared before serving? What are the rules for this?

To begin with, it is worth saying that Italians do not recognize heated dishes. Food that is subjected to secondary heat treatment is perceived by them worse than cooled. So the pasta should only be eaten hot, immediately after cooking. Accordingly, it is required to calculate the number of servings, and make sure that all the food is eaten at a time, and not to cook in reserve.

At home, pasta dishes are served, garnished with a few sprigs of basil. You can also sprinkle with finely chopped nuts. Separately, grated cheese is placed in a vase, which everyone sitting at the table can add to the plate. There is another way to serve when a raw yolk is laid on top of a hot dish, sprinkled with grated cheese and Italian seasonings.


Carbonara pasta pairs well with dry red wines such as Merlot or Cabernet. If you prefer juices, then tomato or moderately sweet cherry will do.

Pasta is applied using a special device with slots on the sides, and eaten exclusively with a fork, without using a spoon, winding several spaghetti from the edge. The components of the sauce can be applied to the skein of pasta, helping with a knife.

If you're going to a restaurant, then practice eating pasta properly at home. The fact is that it is not customary to bite it off, and pasta "strings" should not hang on the fork. It is also considered indecent to suck on spaghetti with a loud sound. But all these subtleties can be mastered rather quickly, and then you will not lose face in the presence of guests.
