Carbonara (Italian: [karboˈnaːra]) is a pasta dish made with fatty cured pork, hard cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It is typical of the Lazio region of Italy. The dish took its modern form and name in the middle of the 20th century.[7]
The cheese is usually pecorino romano. Some variations use Parmesan, Grana Padano, or a combination of cheeses.[6][8][9] Spaghetti is the most common pasta, but bucatini or rigatoni are also used. While guanciale, a cured pork jowl, is traditional, some variations use pancetta,[6][5] and lardons of smoked bacon are a common substitute outside Italy.
