Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Pasta Carbonaran on the menu? Try pairing with Frascati, Pinot Grigio, and Chablis. A crisp dry white wine balances out the richness of a creamy carbonara. Frascati is a Roman wine, which makes it an especially fitting choice to the Roman dish. You could try Barefoot Cellars Pinot Grigio Wine. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.

Barefoot Cellars Pinot Grigio Wine

The #1 selling Pinot Grigio in the US, Barefoot Pinot Grigio is fruity and floral and offers vibrancy on the mid-palate; the perfect 'patio wine'. Jasmine aromas and ripe apple flavors perfectly complement the tropical flavors and lingering lemon finish.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and parmesan cheese. Once combined, mix in parsley. Set bowl aside.
  2. Add bacon to a large pan and turn burner to medium heat. Slowly saut the bacon until it becomes crispy and the fat has rendered downabout 10 minutes. While the bacon is browning, begin boiling the linguine in a large pot of salted water. Once bacon is finished, use a slotted spoon and transfer it to a plate covered with paper towels. Reserve one tablespoon of bacon drippings in the pan and discard the rest. Saut shallots in the bacon drippings until translucent. Add garlic and cook for an additional two minutes. Add chili flakes and cook for an additional minute. Transfer shallots/garlic mixture to a bowl.
  3. Once cooked, drain the hot pasta and quickly toss it in the eggs/cheese mixture until the sauce has thickened. Add all but two tablespoons of the crispy bacon and shallots/garlic mixture. Continue to mix until all items have been thoroughly incorporated. Check for seasonings and adjust with salt and pepper accordingly. Plate the pasta and sprinkle with extra cheese, parsley, and remaining bacon. Serve immediately.
  4. Note: It is important to use the freshest eggs possible when making Carbonara. The heat from the hot pasta will warm the eggs but not thoroughly cook it. If you are wary of eggs that are not fully cooked, then Carbonara may not be the dish for you.
