Giada de Laurentiis: Carbonara

[greenmean28]

I didn't everything she said not to do :-( Wish I would have seen this video first.

[Franco101243]

So checco er carettier, ma che cavolo vai a racconta'!

[patchyu]

@viniciusb all she did was add her own minor things to the original recipe.. and in one of her episodes she says that she her family uses cream because it helps keep the eggs from scrambling..

[vlad1111p]

so much fucking fat

[viniciusb]

@vlad1111p That's why it'd taste awesome, if it wasn't for the fucking cinnamon!

[FlipSnipeZ]

@vlad1111p everything in moderation is fine, stop being a bitch.

[anthony198985013]

i think it looks good

[8colosseo]

worse carbonara ever !!

[silvershields]

STOP SAYING PANCHETA!!!! OMG SO ANNOYING one accent for normal speech and another for a word she just wants to say in "italiain" AAARRHHHGGGG

[filippomaria88]

This is all wrong. If you want to make spaghetti carbonara have the decency to do it th eproper way not your own version. What is it with americans always wanting to change things to their own vulgar palate and call it as if it is the real thing? Also to say "scrambled eggs with pasta" is exactly what carbonara IS NOT. The whole secret is not to harden the eggs but make them creamy...An art , something you are obviously miles away from it.

[silvershields]

@filippomaria88 well whats your recipe then?

[filippomaria88]

@silvershields the real recipe: 3 egg yolk and 1 whole egg. 100 grams of grated pecorino and 100 grams of parmigiano. In a bowl mix them together. Meanwhile you pan fry about 200 grams of "guanciale" (pig cheek) cut in cubes. If you cannot find , use pancetta or bacon. Fry until cricp ( I like mine like this) and add a spoon of the water used to cook spaghetti.

[filippomaria88]

Cook spaghetti al dente, drain and mix them with the bacon in the pan. Then on top pour the egg/cheese mix and coat the pasta making sure the egg remain creamy. Add lot's ground pepper and salt to taste.

[takadi]

Let's be honest, the original carbonara is boring. Julia Child was right in saying that Italian food isn't really cooking. People obsessed over the authenticity of carbonara are trying to overcompensate for the fact that it's peasant food any retard can make. People add cream, wine, onions, etc because it makes it better as an actual dish.

[filippomaria88]

@takadi italian food retard food? LOL!

[zibilea]

ah giadaaaa, la cannella nella carbonara nun se po sentiiiiiii!!!!

[abductedbyaliens8892]

yummy!!

[citilo4]

ahahah what is this???? in italy this is shit!!! ahahahah she is chef??? ahahahahh

[MrAwwwq]

Okay, this can be carbonara your way but do not say bul.... that people in Rome use fresh pasta for carbonara. We use dried pasta.

[JasonBourne342]

so what if she uses cream..the authentic version is plain

[TanwarO]

So, she uses fresh pasta instead of dried cause she wants the same taste of Italy. Does italy also use cream in their carbonara? Hypocrite..

[voltageclamp2001]

Seems too much like Sarah Palin to take seriously.

[janvincentblanquera]

original carbonara does not need cream.. only yolks and cheese..

[patchyu]

What's wrong with adding cream and cinnamon in carbonara? So what if it isn't the tradition recipe. She's just trying to be creative and add her own twist on classic dishes.

[viniciusb]

@patchyu Don't call it carbonara then, call it "some bullshit dish" I came up with.

[anyardsroad]

Quite the most unauthentic recipe on Youtube. And WHY signora add the egg yolks one at a time....Perche? Carbonara in Rome...with Cinnamon! That's a laugh...



[erosamuk]

adorable.

[VaaLKurt]

ma vaffanculo, giada.

[mat884]

cinnamon, cream, parmesan.....IT'S LIKE SCRAMBLED EGGS AND PASTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

you should be sentenced to prison time

[DinoMassimi]

Giada, why don't you stick some cinnamon up your arse?

[zunkian]

@emouch1 Then tell us what's the right recipe for carbonara??? Mr. know-how!!!

You can check out all cabonara recipes all over the internet and it always have either cream or milk in it. If there is no cream or milk, and only use butter, it is not carbonara pasta but buttered pasta.

[mo42086]

that egg mixture looks disgusting *gag*...

[FM897]

I Wikipediaed "Pasta alla Carbonara" and the only nontraditional ingredients she used were cream and cinnamon. I understand your passion for and adherence to tradition, guys, but Giada does say in the beginning of the video that "everyone has their way of making it". This is her VERSION of it.

[HtownRulz11]

I really don't care what people eat: enjoy whatever kind of food you like. But it really grinds my gears when they call it something it's not. The name Carbonara has a specific history and its recipe has specific peculiarities. If you wanna eat a dish with cream, pancetta, cinnamon etc., please go ahead and do so, i might have a bite. But do not call it carbonara because it surely not a pasta alla carbonara.

[astockwell22]

@HtownRulz11 Hi, i'm trying to learn the difference. What does pasta all carbonara consist of? Thanks.

[peteradaniel]

Grand daughter of Dino De Laurentiis.

[cromerbeach]

@peteradaniel I'm none the wiser Dino who

[peteradaniel]

@cromerbeach He was a film producer and financier. He was the man behind Serpico, Barbarella, La Strada, Flash Gordon, Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, Hannibal, Red Dragon........... the list goes on. His daughter Veronica, Giada's mother, was an actress.

[ZarahLean]

Her grandmother was the great Italian film star Silvana Mangano

[gregoir]

1.wow thats weird (just reading the comments) n I was thinkin"we made this in culinary school n used nutmeg"!?also is good w/spinach,barely blanched..who's the pervert?..she's obviously hot but c'mon! I checked this out cuz I love her n sure enough gotta read some perv's crap comment..also I hate it too when Italian's use italian accent's /word's when they'rre American..but she's excused...Lidia(from Lidia's Italy) really tic's me off

[anff]

Whats funny is shes got a 100% yankie doodle accent but when she says a Italian word she changes her accent to italian. haha it sounds stupid

[kiminokami]

@anff That has been her thing from the beginning. Also, she has huge boobs.

[anff]

@kiminokami HAHA I would give anything to bend her the fuck over on the bench

[Ricky3164]

@anff She was born in Rome

[FlipSnipeZ]

hella haters on this. damn

[gahan1978]

i am from Roma (Rome how english people say), and this is not the original Carbonara... why people change receipts? no cream in carbonara!

[retrohippie]

@gahan1978 Come on, I know you Italians can't even agree on your own recipes, lol.

[HtownRulz11]

@retrohippie you're definitely right, but the debates you see on different recipes are about slight changes on recipes, due to different regional traditions. They're due to the fact that italians take their (our) cuisine (way too) seriously. But this is a little different. This is taking the whole nature of a dish (a simple, poor people, yet delicious dish) and changing it into something it is not. As I said earlier, please go ahead and try new things, but don't call it something they're not.

[zibilea]

@gahan1978 e manco la cannella ci va...... o mio dio ke monnezza se magnano st'americani!!!!!

[geokar]

nutmeg is more suited than cinnamon. And surely some continental parsley wouldn't hurt...

[NemoThePirate]

Ragazzi, se fate una carbonara con tutti i crismi e la fate mangiare ad un americano ve la sputa in faccia perchè non sono sapori a cui sono abituati; lei ha trovato un compromesso e l'ha adattata ai gusti del luogo. Questo è come la vedo io.

---

I mean, she adapted the carbonara for american people; the carbonara made here in Rome is a little bit different.

[dortmundking]

Quit nice recipe.But you also can do it thiy way:Cook the Spaghetti,cook also the bacon/pancetta and whisk together eggs,cream and cheese with salt and pepper.Put the pasta in a warm bowl.imdenly add in the egg-mixture and combie well. And the mix inthe bacon/pancetta. Seson with some more frwh grated pepper.

[hydejing]

good

[campbpar]

1:40 He'd be hittin' that.

[kijizy2009]

I'm Italian, I'm From Rome. That's the worst Carbonara I've ever seen. The union of Egg Cream and Pancetta you did is a disgusting crime... That's a pasta with FRITTATA, not a Carbonara... Bleah!!!

[singharunima]

@kijizy2009 So true! I learn carbonara from here watch?v=t1cUwX4Xzt0 and Giada did everything Rick Stein specifically said shouldn't be done!

[dado724]

@kijizy2009 Purtroppo è così, però io darei un 10 e lode a giada che con molta fatica cerca di eliminare lo stereotipo di cucina italiana come quella del: Macaroni cheese...meglio una carbonara finta che farsi attribuire un piatto non nostro...

[weldflowers]

heavy cream......cheater!

[Darkwizard696]

when your known somewhere other than youtube, you have your own show,(not on youtube), and cook in something more than your local diner, you can crack on Giada. OK, NUFF SAID. 

[ItsaStringThing]

what's up with the random guy hovering around with no apparent purpose

[shadeofme12]

and u know why "it's absOOOOOOOrb the moisture" LOOL

[intoximacated]

A really nice addition to Carbonara: fresh peas.

[colinchoy2c]

Teeth & Boobs mixed together with Smile & Big, and that's how you make Giada.

[supergolfdude]

I love how she says, "Pan CHAY ta"!

[kallisti]

There are not "hella" different ways of making spaghetti alla carbonara. Certainly not when you're passing yourself off as an expert on authentic Italian cuisine and making references to how it is served in Rome.

No cream. No effing cinnamon. And it is almost always served with dried pasta, not fresh. In Rome. Italy. Where it effing comes from.

If you want to make pasta with a creamy bacon sauce, go for it. It might even be tasty, But don't call it carbonara, because it ain't. The. End.

[FlipSnipeZ]

your so closed minded dude

[supergolfdude]

I find it puzzling that anyone watches Giadda with a critical eye on what she makes! Jealousy from frustrated hamburger flippers.

[klinkysworld]

@supergolfdude whenever i watch anything with Giadda, i'm mainly looking at her and not what she cooks lol!

[supergolfdude]

@klinkysworld Well, she does love to cook with those low-cut tops or several buttons undone. Love it!

[emouch1]

I don't have a problem with people making things however they like them, but she said that this is how they make the traditional carbonara in restaurants in Rome, which is a blatant lie. If she tried to demonstrate this in an Italian audience they would have put her head in that big pot that she uses to cook the pasta....

[emouch1]

another bastardised carbonara... NO CREAM IN THE CARBONARA LADY!!!

[N6600]

well, everybody makes it differently dude. here in the philippines, we even add onions to it. its pretty much everyone's style. but you know, you still have a point bro. to tell you, i disagree how we (at least traditionally) make red sauce pasta. imagine putting kepchup, hot dogs and MSG to it. i understand the ketchup and hot dogs part, but what goes beyond me is adding MSG. i don't like MSG.

[N6600]

by the way, giada looked a little bit matured here now, unlike in her everyday italian episodes...

[FlipSnipeZ]

emouch, if there was only 1 recipe for carbonara that would be super boring, there is hella different ways of making it so calm down

[lucadefran]

@emouch1 I'm italian , in carbonara it takes guanciale not pancetta(bacon)

[emouch1]

@lucadefran True, I love guanciale, but not easy to find outside Italy, hence pancetta is the best next substitute

[SharksKid]

@emouch1

I've seen plenty of people make it this way. This is exactly how I made mine until people started saying that cream is a no-no. How else are you supposed to make it?

[iamtherik]

@emouch1 who cares, you make food as you like it, this is not mcdonalds, but have it your way :P... if you don't like cream don't use cream, use another recipe, IMHO, i don't like creamy food, but remember, who cares at the end of the day it's gonna end like the rest of the food, as shit :)

[kevico2]

@emouch1 Honestly? I did not know that... How does it become creamy then? Is it just the egg?

[emouch1]

@kevico2 You probably have not had real carbonara then. It becomes creamy by mixing egg yolks and pecorino/parmesan. You then add some of the pasta water to raise its temperature and tamper it, and mix it with pasta and pancetta/bacon/guanciale (whatever meat was used). The creaminess comes from the egg/cheese mixture.

[kevico2]

@emouch1 Thank you for clearing that up for me. I (think) I've seen it done on Rachael Ray! I wonder why she (Giada) uses cream then? Things that make you go: "Hmmmmmmm"!!! You'd think she'd know better...
