Authentic Roman spaghetti carbonara

It is believed that Spaghetti carbonara originates from Lazio Rome, dating back to 1839.
The name is thought to come from carbonaro which translates as 'charcoal burner' as it was popular with charcoal workers. In the US the dish has been referred to as 'coal miners spaghetti'

There is a family of dishes from Rome including pasta with bacon, cheese and pepper, including pasta alla gricia.

The modern version of this recipe uses bacon instead of guanciale or pancetta when you just can't get hold of guanciale which is cured pig jowl, also many chefs now prefer to use egg yolk but in this recipe which I believe to be authentic I use the whole egg.

I do hope you give my spaghetti carbonara recipe a try.
