Pasta carbonara
So what's the deal here zerosugar? Looking to use egg yolks as i like to eat only egg whites in the morning.
Some recipes say 5 egg yolks to 1 egg white. Is it right?

to my knowledge egg whites are not used. you use egg yolks. haha i used to love carbonara, but again haven’t eaten it in years after being brainwashed by this
guy. i did have a good porkless carbonara in turkey.
here is a roman guy making it

this is another lady who is a very very popular youtube cook, she makes lots of traditional recipes, here she makes carbonara but doesn’t make it in a
traditional way,

or maybe for texture use one whole egg and then the rest yolks. that may be the secret to a good one but it’s a modern take not the traditional roman recipe
that’s only egg yolks
it all depends on your preferences
