What Is Carbonara Sauce Made Of?
Carbonara sauce is typically made of eggs, cheese (usually Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano), guanciale or pancetta (cured pork jowl or belly respectively), black pepper, and sometimes garlic. The sauce is a mixture of raw eggs, grated cheese, and cooked pork, which is then combined with hot pasta to create a rich and creamy sauce.
