Fettuccine Paglia e Fieno alla Carbonara
Description
This pasta recipe uses fettuccine paglia e fieno, cooked al dente and combined immediately with a beaten mixture of eggs and Parmigiano Reggiano, which thickens into a creamy coating without added cream. The bacon and onions are cooked gently in olive oil and white wine until the onions become translucent and the wine reduces slightly, imparting a savory and subtly sweet flavor. Adding the bacon mixture to the pasta completes the dish with its aromatic richness. The optional addition of pasta cooking water helps achieve the right sauce consistency. This classic style pasta dish balances the saltiness of the cheese and bacon with the delicate acidity from the wine and a silky texture from the eggs, ideal for a warm, satisfying meal served immediately.
