According to a
quick Internet search, Carbonara is actually the sauce and not the whole meal. It is an Italian pasta sauce that is made from eggs, black pepper, pig's cheek, and jowl bacon. Other ingredients include cheese, milk, garlic and parsley. The term carbonara came from the word carbone which means coal. Many Italians believe that the sauce got its name from charcoal miners who love the food so much. So, I thank all the Italian coal miners for introducing the dish to the world.
