There is a chef in Rome who developed a brilliant technique for cooking Spaghetti alla Carbonara. His name is Luciano Monosilio and he is known as, “The King of Carbonara”. I studied his technique, translated and adapted his recipe so that we can enjoy perfect carbonara without any hassle. This is one of my new favorite cooking techniques for pasta, I believe it’s as close to fool-proof as a traditional Italian pasta can be. Here’s how to make it.
ZEPPOLES
ITALIAN DOUGHNUTS
I'm gonna show you how to make Zeppoles from scratch, also known as Italian doughnuts, usually found at street fairs, served in a brown paper bag and served with a mount of powdered sugar. I get zeppoles once a year at the san gennnaro feast in NYC. If you ever wondered how to make donuts without yeast this may be the recipe you're looking for. These are the best doughnuts in my opinion and one of my favorite childhood foods. And this is the easiest donut recipe I have come across. This is my first dessert and of course, it's an Italian dessert. Be careful when you fry donuts at home.
TRAIN YOUR PALATE:
HOW TO MAKE A VINAIGRETTE
Get in the kitchen with me for this one. It's not as flashy or visually appealing as my other videos but learning how to train your palate and how to make a vinaigrette is super important. We are going to build a vinaigrette step by step, tasting it along the way to help you understand taste, flavors and balance. I will also show you how to properly dress a salad and how to plate it. Hope you like this different kind of format.
EGGS BENEDICT WITH BLENDER HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
In today's video, I will show you how to make a tasty eggs benedict with blender hollandaise sauce. You now know how to poach an egg (video for that here) now I'm going to show you to put it all together for eggs benedict at home. I make a blender hollandaise sauce, rather than use a double boiler, this is often called a 1 minute hollandaise sauce because of how easy and quick it is to make.
My sauce actually broke in this video so I'll also show you
how to fix a broken hollandaise sauce.
Amazing!! The best carbonara I have ever eaten and I made it myself, thanks to you! Greetings from Greece ☺️
I had friends over last night and made this. Definitely a keeper! It’s simple and very tasty. Grazie mille!
Incredible
This recipe is freakin amazing... best tips: cook the guancale/porceta slow... and the one I didn't understand until I saw it happening: keep cooking and stirring until the sauce beautifully coats the pasta. Better than any I had in a restaurant, including in Italy. And yes, lots of pepper is awesome, just add little by little until the amount you
Thank you for this recipe, it really is fool-proof! One noticeable improvement you could make is to provide ingredient amounts by weight. Half a cup of grated cheese can mean vastly different amounts, depending on how coarsely the cheese is grated.
