The Best Spaghetti Carbonara Places To Eat in Singapore

Italian cuisine occupies a special position in the culinary arts world. It uses a wide variety of products: vegetables, fish, seafood, beef and lean pork, poultry, fruit and berries, cheese, pulses, and rice. Italian cooks use a number of spices and seasonings to prepare dishes. They prefer not to boil the food, but to stew it in its own juice or with olive oil and wine, so as to best capture the aroma and specific taste of the given product. The food retains its freshness and natural flavor thanks to the simplicity of the cooking. Easy to make but delicious in essence, the dishes have won the hearts of gastronomic lovers. Pasta carbonara has always been and remains the most popular. Carbonara is spaghetti with small pieces of bacon, guanciale or pancetta, mixed with a sauce of eggs, parmesan cheese and pecorino Romano, salt and freshly ground black pepper. This sauce comes to full perfection from the heat of the just-cooked pasta.

Cooking Process

The cooking method is very straightforward. The chef first prepares the pasta in moderately salted boiling water. The guanciale is briefly fried in its own fat in a pan. A mixture of raw eggs, grated pecorino and plenty of ground black pepper is mixed with the hot pasta either in the pasta pot or in a serving dish, but away from direct heat so that the egg does not curdle. The fried guanciale is then added and stirred, producing a rich, creamy sauce with bits of meat scattered over it. Although various shapes of pasta can be used, a raw egg can only cook properly with a shape that has a fairly large surface area to volume ratio. Some foods have more sauce, so tubular shaped pasta is used, which is better suited to seasoning the sauce.

But the reality is that culinary experts can’t quite decide who invented this pasta, where and when, which recipe is the classic and, most importantly, whether the sauce needs cream or just a nice piece of cheese to get a rounded taste. That’s why all countries have different ways of making pasta carbonara. Singapore is no exception. Therefore, we suggest you visit the list of places that we have compiled!
