Tupper Tips:

  • Prosciutto can be substituted with fried pancetta pieces for a more authentic carbonara. Use the Chef SeriesTM Pure Cookware 24cm Frypan to fry the pancetta with 1 tbs olive oil until crispy.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the prosciutto with 150g of sautéed mushrooms.
  • Sprinkle toasted pine nuts over pasta for another texture.
