I learned how to make THE BEST Spaghetti Carbonara

I learned how to make THE BEST Spaghetti Carbonara in Italy this year and knew I had to recreate it for us all at home! @barillaus #ad 🍝🇮🇹 We took a wonderful class in Rome and now make this at-home version whenever we’re missing our favorite city. It only requires a few simple ingredients and is done in under 30 minutes! Using my favorite Barilla Al Bronzo® pasta is what truly elevates this entire dish. It’s a premium bronze-cut pasta that has a textured surface which holds more of this creamy carbonara sauce in every bite 🙌🏼 Click the link in my stories to try Barilla Al Bronzo® for yourself! Hope you love this recipe as much as we do ❤️
#BarillaPasta #BarillaAlBronzo #BarillaUS

Ingredients:
1 box Barilla Al Bronzo® Spaghetti
8-10 ounces guanciale, sliced into thin ¼ inch strips (or pancetta or bacon)
¾ cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano plus more for serving
¼ cup freshy grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano
1 whole large egg plus 3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more for serving

Method:
1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil and cook the Barilla Al Bronzo® Spaghetti to al dente perfection according to package directions.
2. Place the guanciale pieces into a medium stainless steel skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove from heat and set aside, being sure to reserve 2 tablespoons of the melted fat. (In Rome, we learned to set one side of the skillet onto the back of a spoon to tilt it so the fat pools to one side)
3. In a large stainless steel or glass bowl, combine the whole egg, egg yolks, and black pepper. Place the bowl directly over the boiling pasta water, being careful that it does not touch the water, while whisking vigorously until the eggs become slightly thick and creamy. (This process is used to pasteurize the eggs and create the most ideal texture). Recipe continued in comments!

This is my kind of Fall Salad! 🍂🥂🍐 Fall F

This is my kind of Fall Salad! 🍂🥂🍐 Fall Fig & Pear Salad with Crispy Quinoa and a Maple Vinaigrette - This recipe is inspired by one that I shared a couple years ago and always make during this time of year. I usually add regular cooked quinoa to this but have seen so many amazing crispy rice salads lately (cc @kalejunkie 🔥) that I thought I’d try it with crispy quinoa. I also love adding some grilled chicken to this to make it a meal! Hope you enjoy 🧡

Paired this salad with @mcmanisfamilyvineyards Sparkling Brut 🥂 Cutest serving bowl and measuring cups are from the @whatsgabycookin x @crateandbarrel collection!

Ingredients:
5 ounces spring mix or chopped kale
1 pear, thinly sliced
1 cup quartered figs
3/4 cup @pomwonderful arils plus more for serving
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups cooked crispy quinoa (see instructions below)
1/2 cup candied walnuts, coarsely chopped
Crumbled feta or goat cheese for serving

Vinaigrette:
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small shallot
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the crispy quinoa, place cooked and cooked quinoa onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through. Set aside and let cool before adding into the salad.
