Use Authentic Ingredients

The beauty of most traditional Italian recipes is that they only call for a few simple ingredients. However, the trick is in using the highest quality ingredients available so as to not sacrifice any of the flavor. When it comes to Carbonara, this means you should try to use pancetta instead of bacon, avoiding any cured meats. You should also look for the authentic pecorino cheese rather than parmesan, even though it's more readily available.
