Five Ingredient Recipe Pairings

Carbonara

  • Spaghetti
  • Guanciale
  • Pecorino cheese
  • Salt 
  • Black Pepper

We don’t measure here so use as much as or a little as you’d like. Cut your guanciale and cook over medium heat. Save some or all of the fat. Cook the pasta al dente. Grate your cheese, grind your pepper, and crack your eggs into a bowl to mix. Temper your eggs with your (SALTED) pasta water, otherwise we’re making scrambled eggs and that’s going to upset everyone. Add pasta to pan with guanciale, toss in the egg mixture with the heat off and mix. Pair with Pecorino wine and serve. It’s a tricky dish so good luck!
