Step 4

When the Barilla Spaghetti pasta is cooked until al dente, drain it and put it in the pan with the chorizo.

Chef's tip

The perfect carbonara is creamy, without lumps of eggs too coagulated or with yolks too liquid. To better control the right coagulation and the temperature, pour the yolk mixture in while bringing the pan out of the fire.

Spaghetti

The most famous pasta shape in the world and the most popular shape in Italy; the name comes from the Italian word "spagh", which means "lengths of cord." Spaghetti is a classic and versatile cut that originates from the south of Italy and is commonly used with tomato sauces, fresh vegetables or fish.
