This is the best carbonara recipe I've ever tried! The technique of mixing off-heat is crucial - got that perfect creamy texture without scrambling the eggs. Used guanciale from my local Italian deli and it made all the difference. 🍝✨

Made this for dinner tonight and my family loved it! My 8-year-old who usually hates pasta asked for seconds. Thank you Chef Mario! Only change: used pancetta since I couldn't find guanciale.

First time making carbonara and it turned out amazing! The video was super clear and easy to follow. Pro tip: save extra pasta water - I needed more than expected to get the sauce consistency right.
