I've been making a spaghetti carbonara a week because I feel like I should be able to make a good version of my favourite dish. Week 1: Spaghetti too al dente, not cheesy enough. Week 2: Much improved but lacking a richness, a creaminess, a certain something.On Internet Archive

Week 3: Tagliatelle instead of spaghetti as suggested by my sister-in-law to hold the sauce better; butter instead of oil; an extra egg yolk. Very good but missing something. We may be up to the quality-of-ingredients stage.Permalink On Internet Archive

Week 4(?): Best yet! Back to spaghetti and I used a /lot/ more butter. Could be cheesier.Permalink On Internet Archive

Week ??: I had a carbonara in Scotland that made me realise I had to return to first principles with ingredient measures. Tried a completely new recipe and finally nailed the consistency. The secret is egg yolks only, no whites. My journey may be over.Permalink On Internet Archive

Next week I'm going to try an additional egg yolk and frying the lardons in butter instead of olive oil.Permalink On Internet Archive
