WATCH: You Can Make Authentic Carbonara!

The trick to making a delicious carbonara isn’t just the ingredients. It’s about using the ingredients you love to eat. Many people love the Pinoy-style carbonara recipe that is incredibly creamy and loaded with bacon. 

However, if you want to try a more authentic carbonara pasta recipe that doesn’t use any cream but uses eggs and cheese to make it creamy, you should try this easy recipe. 

The technique to this easy carbonara pasta sauce is really how you treat the eggs. The eggs are the main ingredient in the sauce and acts as both the binder as well as main flavor of the sauce. That means you have to treat it right or else, you’ll have scrambled eggs with your pasta instead of a richly flavored and saucy pasta. 

The trick? It’s tempering the eggs before pouring it into the hot pan with the hot pasta and hot bacon. 

You’ll need to watch the video to see what we mean, so here’s the recipe to get you excited enough to go and prepare all the ingredients you need to make it:
