Truffle Seaweed Carbonara
Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish originating from the capital city of Rome. It’s traditionally made with eggs, hard cheese, cured pork and black pepper. Some anglicised recipes call for the addition of cream, but purists note that the creaminess of the dish comes from the emulsified eggs, not cream! To avoid accidentally making scrambled eggs, make sure you don’t skip the step where you allow the pan to cool slightly, as this is what will allow the eggs to emulsify into a delicious creamy sauce, instead of frying them on the spot. This recipe is vegetarian, with the addition of truffle seaweed for a luxurious flavour, but you can feel free to add cured pork of your choice if you want to go down the traditional route.
