Gordon Ramsay’s carbonara is a satiating meal. This pasta dish has simple ingredients that you might find in a small trip to your pantry. He uses Parmesan and I say you do the same. The recipe has everything a good dish should have; vegetables, cream, bacon, cheese, and pasta.

Gordon Ramsay showed the recipe tutorial in a video on his YouTube channel. The video was pure chaos, but the carbonara came out beautiful. I say you take your time and don’t run around the kitchen in a panic. You need to cook the vegetables and bacon first.

Then, add the cooked pasta and lastly pour the egg and cheese mixture over it. All you need is three simple steps and you’ll have delicious and creamy carbonara on a plate. You can use milk in the egg mixture, but Ramsay adds Crème Fraiche. This makes the pasta creamier and smooth.

The reason being that the eggs cook fast and curdle. So, you don’t get a creamy consistency in the pasta as you want. Add the egg mixture at the end for the creamy effect. Let me tell you the whole recipe so you can enjoy this carbonara at home. But first, check out some other recipes from the Chef’s delight.
