The foundation of Penne Carbonara is pasta, traditionally using penne, although you may find variations with spaghetti or fettuccine. What sets Carbonara apart from other pasta dishes is the luscious, creamy sauce that cloaks each strand of pasta. This sauce is created by a magical alchemy of eggs, heavy cream, and Pecorino Romano cheese. The eggs add a velvety texture, the cream contributes richness, and the cheese imparts a salty, umami depth. When tossed with the hot pasta, this mixture transforms into a luxurious coating that clings to the noodles.
