Carbonara Day is celebrated in Italy as well as in other countries around the world where people enjoy spaghetti carbonara.
Carbonara Day is celebrated mainly by Italians, but people who love Italian dishes like carbonara worldwide also celebrate this day.
Carbonara Day first started in 2017.
Carbonara Day was started by The Italian Association of Confectionery and Pasta Industries and the International Pasta Organization.
Carbonara is known to have originated in 1944 during World War II. Pasta alla carbonara was invented when someone tried to make a pasta dish using American soldiers' 'K Ration' ingredients, egg yolk powder and bacon, tossed with pasta, pepper, and cheese. American soldiers accompanied the 'K Ration' with spaghetti. However, the history of Carbonara Day is recent as the day started to be celebrated very recently, in 2017.
Although there are many varieties of this delicacy, the traditional recipe for a perfect carbonara has its main ingredients originating from Rome or cities nearby. Whether pasta or spaghetti, carbonara includes a silky sauce made from combining egg whites with pasta, water, and egg yolk to add richness and flavor.
Some people also prefer egg yolk powder in the dish. Rome’s Pecorino, a spicy cheese obtained from sheep’s milk, is one of the main ingredients. You have several options when it comes to selecting carbonara meat. You can choose from bacon, pancetta (meat from pork belly), or guanciale (meat from pork cheeks). The meat is generally cured in salt and also gives the flavor of black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon.
People celebrate the day by cooking their favorite version of an Italian carbonara recipe at home and sharing it with friends and family.
