Carbonara Day
April 6th is about to become your favorite day. Designed by I.P.O. (International Pasta Organization) e Union Food, this date was chosen to celebrate one of the most popular Italian dishes, as well as one of the symbolic recipes of Italian cuisine abroad. The Carbonara Day is celebrated all over the world, between debates, recipes and stories that travel on the web and on social networks with the hashtag dedicated #carbonaraday.
The Original Carbonara
A simple dish of the Roman tradition that divides Italians into two factions: there are those who do not admit reinterpretations of the classic recipe and those who accept upheavals or unusual ingredients. But what is the original recipe of carbonara? It's all in ingredients used: yes to the pillow, absolutely not to the pancetta; better to use only the egg yolks and not the albumen; grate exclusively pecorino and not parmesan. There are no other additions besides pepper, so no cream or sautéed onion and garlic. If the choice of ingredients is so rigid, indulge yourself with the pasta shapes the only exception allowed remains. Long pasta or short pasta? You can easily choose between spaghetti, rigatoni or half-sleeves.
#CarbonaraChallenge: we challenge you to cook the best carbonara
To better celebrate this day, we decided to look for and taste the best carbonara in Italy. If you think you know how to prepare the best of all, on April 6th you can't miss our challenge: a chef de The School of Italian Cuisine and a chef from Academia Barilla will guide you first in one masterclass and then in a real one cooking competition between brigades. It will be hard: not only eggs, bacon and pecorino, but also surprise ingredients and different Barilla pasta shapes, to cook alternative and original versions of the carbonara. Will you surprise us by preparing the classic recipe in a workmanlike manner or with a customized version?
