    Traditional would be pecorino instead of parmesan and guanciale instead of pancetta.

    But as my Italian chef once said: Sometimes you can’t be fucked separating eggs and all you got is bacon. Might be why he was forced out of Italy, but I digress.

      Pretty sure garlic isn’t traditional either. Not that I’m a carbonara snob, make it however you like

        Pecorino is stupidly expensive, I’ve had both it and parmesan carbonara before and the difference shouldn’t be a deal breaker. We get it, sheep’s cheese = fancy.
