carbonaras
Creamy Italian noodles
Carbonaras is the plural of carbonara, an Italian pasta dish made with eggs, hard cheese, cured pork, and black pepper.
The sauce forms when hot pasta is tossed with raw egg and cheese, creating a creamy coating without cream.
Spaghetti carbonara is the classic preparation: We ordered two carbonaras and split a salad.
