[2 - 2] what's up if you're Italian you're
[2 - 4] really really not gonna like this video
[4 - 5] so consider watching one of my other
[5 - 7] videos right here or right here and
[7 - 10] please spare me the mean comment about
[10 - 12] what a heathenous American I am I am
[12 - 14] that I know it for the rest of you guys
[14 - 16] who like delicious fun food and don't
[16 - 18] really care about authenticity today I'm
[18 - 20] gonna use a common Pantry item that
[20 - 22] isn't Italian at all to show you how to
[22 - 25] make a one pot 25 minute carbonara that
[25 - 27] tastes delicious and can easily feed
[27 - 28] eight people to get started I'll need
[28 - 31] some pork instead of the hard to get an
[31 - 33] expensive guanciale which is traditional
[33 - 36] for this dish I like to use smoked bacon
[36 - 38] today I've got 650 grams or just about a
[38 - 41] pound and a half of very thick cut stuff
[41 - 42] to prep this for the pot I'll take one
[42 - 45] slab at a time cut it in half then cut
[45 - 47] that half in half but this time long
[47 - 49] wise then I'll just cut those strips
[49 - 51] down into squares that are roughly the
[51 - 53] same size and once I've got about 650
[53 - 55] grams of bacon diced I'll set it aside
[55 - 57] and then grab the second part of this
[57 - 60] dish cheese in my carbonara I prefer two
[60 - 62] cheeses the first is aged parmigiano
[62 - 65] reggiano this one is 18 months old
[65 - 68] cheese 2 is the fierce pecorino Romano
[68 - 70] it's salty it's sheepy and brings a lot
[70 - 72] of punchiness to this sauce if we went
[72 - 74] with all parm it would be a very good
[74 - 76] dish but it'd be a little bit soft and
[76 - 78] plain now to prep these for the pot I'll
[78 - 81] grab my box grater and rip them down on
[81 - 83] the feather shred side I go for this
[83 - 85] feather shred because these hard cheeses
[85 - 87] can be really fickle when it comes to
[87 - 89] Melting and this feathery form factor is
[89 - 92] high surface area that translates to a
[92 - 94] quick uniform melt in total I'll need
[94 - 96] 150 grams of Parmesan and I'll just
[96 - 98] scoot that into a mixing bowl next I'll
[98 - 100] just grab my pecorino feather shred that
[100 - 103] until I've got 150 grams then scoot it
[103 - 104] into the bowl with my parm next into
[104 - 107] that bowl I'll crack three large eggs
[107 - 110] two and three then in goes nine egg
[110 - 112] yolks I'll just separate those using my
[112 - 114] fingers real quick like this then I'll
[114 - 116] save these whites to make my morning
[116 - 119] eggs less flavorful and once I've got
[119 - 120] the eggs and cheese in into the bowl
[120 - 122] I'll add in five to six grams of cracked
[122 - 124] black pepper and then 10 grams of
[124 - 127] cornstarch hold your horses Giuseppe let
[127 - 128] me explain adding in a little cornstarch
[128 - 130] here helps the egg cheese and water
[130 - 133] mixture stay emulsified and creamy even
[133 - 135] in the presence of high heat since
[135 - 136] there's no perceivable flavor to
[136 - 138] cornstarch and the amount that we're
[138 - 139] using doesn't change the texture I think
[139 - 141] it's a great way to make this sauce a
[141 - 142] little bit more bulletproof for the home
[142 - 144] cook next it's time to cook this sauce
[144 - 146] so I'll grab my six and a half quart
[146 - 148] dutch oven and drop it on the stove over
[148 - 151] medium heat once it's hot it goes a long
[151 - 153] squiggle of olive oil all of my diced
[153 - 155] thick cut bacon and then I'll add in
[155 - 157] about a half cup of water I'll bring
[157 - 159] that up to a hard simmer then cook down
[159 - 161] until the water is evaporated and the
[161 - 163] Bacon fat is nicely rendered out and
[163 - 165] after five minutes the water is sizzled
[165 - 167] off and now I've just got Bacon Fat Left
[167 - 169] Behind from here I'll fry this bacon in
[169 - 171] its own fat for five to ten more minutes
[171 - 173] over medium heat stirring every minute
[174 - 175] or so and once the bacon is taking on
[175 - 177] this reddish brown color it is starting
[177 - 179] to crisp up around the edges just a
[179 - 181] little bit I'll take this whole pot off
[181 - 183] the heat and move the bacon along with
[183 - 185] its fat into a bowl for this sauce we
[185 - 188] want some bacon fat but not this much
[188 - 190] that would make the dish super heavy so
[190 - 191] I'll pour off about two-thirds of it
[191 - 193] leaving me with about three tablespoons
[193 - 194] in total and at this point I've got my
[195 - 197] cheese eggs and bacon all sorted out so
[197 - 199] the last thing to do is to prep the
[199 - 201] pasta for this dish I've got two pounds
[201 - 203] of spaghetti and to prep it for the pot
[203 - 205] I'm gonna break it in half why am I
[205 - 207] doing that well this makes the whole one
[207 - 210] pot method much more possible cooking
[210 - 211] two pounds of full-length Spaghetti
[211 - 213] would require a separate large stock pot
[213 - 215] with a lot more water and a lot more
[215 - 217] time plus when you're cooking in large
[217 - 219] batches like we are today half noodles
[219 - 222] are easier to stir and make it easier to
[222 - 223] cook the sauce properly back in the
[223 - 225] stove I'll bring my pot back up over
[225 - 228] high heat then add in 2 500 grams of
[228 - 230] water then come back with a wooden spoon
[230 - 231] and give the pot a quick scrape down
[231 - 233] this is going to deglaze any of those
[233 - 235] flavorful Brown bacon bits that are
[235 - 237] stuck to the bottom of the pot next I'll
[237 - 239] bring the whole thing up to a ripping
[239 - 242] boil then add in 10 grams of salt and
[242 - 244] then all 2 pounds or 900 grams of my
[244 - 247] halved spaghett I'll just use some tongs
[247 - 248] here to push that down and make sure
[248 - 251] that everything is fully submerged as
[251 - 252] they soften that'll become easier and
[252 - 254] once everything's swimming I'll turn my
[254 - 256] burner down to medium low set a timer
[256 - 259] for 10 minutes then cover the pot with a
[259 - 260] lid while those noodles cook I'll
[260 - 262] quickly think factor for sponsoring this
[262 - 263] video like most of you guys watching
[264 - 266] this video I love to cook and do it
[266 - 268] pretty much every single day but for the
[268 - 269] nights where I didn't make it to the
[269 - 271] grocery store or the nights where I'm
[271 - 273] working late and I just don't feel like
[273 - 275] cooking Factor has become a friend

[289 - 290] middle of filming this video that you're
[290 - 292] watching right now and I really don't
[292 - 293] have anything in the fridge that I can
[293 - 295] just heat up without making even more of
[295 - 297] a mess so it's Factor garlic butter
[297 - 299] shrimp and cream kale for me today it
[299 - 301] it's well seasoned it's well balanced
[301 - 303] and the shrimp is surprisingly not
[303 - 305] rubbery at all for having been nuked in
[305 - 306] my microwave for two minutes so if you

[319 - 323] factor75.com with code lagerstrom50 for
[323 - 325] 50 off halfway through cooking at about
[325 - 327] the five minute Mark these noodles are
[327 - 329] still submerged that's good but I also
[330 - 331] want to make sure that they're not stuck
[331 - 333] together so I'll stir and flip things
[333 - 335] around and then tuck them back under the
[335 - 337] water lid goes back on and I'll cook for
[337 - 340] five more minutes after 10 minutes of
[340 - 342] cook time it's time to taste the noodle
[342 - 344] for doneness textually I'm looking for
[344 - 346] just past Al Dente I don't like crunchy
[346 - 348] pasta and this pasta really isn't going
[348 - 350] to carry over cook and that's good it's
[351 - 353] tender but not soggy now there should be
[353 - 354] about two to three cups of pasta water
[354 - 356] left behind after the cooking if your
[357 - 358] pasta is looking drier than this no
[358 - 360] sweat just add in about a cup up or two
[360 - 362] of water to make yours look as wet as
[362 - 364] mine next I'm going to Ladle about a cup
[364 - 365] and a half to two cups of this hot
[365 - 367] cooking liquid right into my egg cheese
[367 - 369] Bowl then right away I'll come back and
[369 - 371] whisk that up to combine adding hot
[371 - 374] water into the egg mixture tempers it or
[374 - 376] warms it up basically and this allows
[376 - 378] the cheese and eggs to melt slash cook
[378 - 380] more evenly and more gently once they're
[380 - 382] in with the noodles and once we've got
[382 - 384] the egg cheese slurry made we'll just
[384 - 386] pour that over the spaghetti then in
[386 - 387] goes all of the bacon along with the
[387 - 389] three tablespoons of reserved fat next
[389 - 392] I'll just stir that to combine but right
[392 - 394] now I'm not really looking to cook slash
[394 - 396] melt anything that's going to happen a
[396 - 398] lot more accurately over at the stove as
[398 - 399] you can see once things are combined
[399 - 402] they're pretty wet because the egg is
[402 - 404] raw this is not finished so I'll move
[404 - 405] this whole pot back to the stove and
[405 - 408] fire up my burner to very low this way I
[408 - 410] can very gently Heat this through and
[410 - 412] cook the Egg Slash melt of the cheese
[412 - 415] I'm using tongs to fold the pasta over
[415 - 416] and to bring the warm stuff up from the
[416 - 418] bottom of the pot it should take about
[418 - 420] one to two minutes to start to get this
[420 - 422] mixture steamy and thickened up and
[422 - 424] after about one to two minutes over low
[424 - 426] heat this sauce is thickened but not
[426 - 429] thick it's Saucy it's creamy and velvety
[429 - 431] exactly what a carbonara should be now
[431 - 433] to pipe this up I'll drop some creamy
[433 - 435] Saucy noodles into a bowl then to make
[435 - 437] sure it's bacony enough I'll top it with
[437 - 440] 10 to 12 pieces then I'll garnish with
[440 - 442] some grated Parmesan or pecorino then
[442 - 444] finally I'll add a few cranks of fresh
[444 - 447] cracked black peppy and there we go a
[447 - 450] classic creamy butt creamless carbonara
[450 - 453] this process is fast simple and delivers
[453 - 455] enough for you and all of your buddies
[455 - 457] to eat at your next dinner party is it
[457 - 460] authentically Italian I don't care it's
