Al Bronzo Bucatini Pasta Alla Vegetable Carbonara
40 minutes total
This is Carbonara recipe departs from tradition and forgoes the classic combination of eggs, cracked black pepper, guanciale or pancetta, and Romano Cheese. Instead we turn to vegetables for inspiration creating a luxurious pasta sauce by sautéing yellow bell peppers with thinly sliced leek until golden and crisp around the edges. The leek and pepper mixture is then blended with black pepper, olive oil and flakey salt until smooth. The sauce is added to al dente Al Bronzo Bucatini pasta and garnished with sun-dried tomatoes, julienned leek, and dusted with freshly grated Romano cheese.
Barilla Al Bronzo Bucatini pasta is made by extruding dough through a bronze die that is micro engraved. This gives the pasta a rougher texture, allowing pasta sauces to perfectly adhere to our beautifully crafted pasta.
