Yum and thank you for mentioning Heartburn! It is one of my favorite movies. So many people don't know about it. I also consider it one of my "comfort food" movies along with Moonstruck and Mystic Pizza!
Honestly your shirt with the oranges plus the mom's spaghetti video would have been enough - the recipe is almost a bonus. I've always used the NYT recipe (good, although too many bowls required), but I will definitely try your version soon.
I’m sad this one didn’t work for me...maybe it was doubling the recipe? My two egg + egg yolks + 1 cup parm mix was thicker than the video’s mixture was...stupid store bought finely grated cheese... and then the minute the pasta water hit the egg mixture I knew it was over and I just couldn’t bring it back from a separated, grainy mess :( somehow it was soupy in the pan but scrambled all over the pasta sigh.
Hi! I read the recipe and watched the video and noticed a difference: in the written recipe you put the pasta into the skillet, add 1/2 cup of pasta water, then add the cheese mixture with another 3/4 cup of pasta water. But in the video you put the pasta to the egg cheese mixture, add 3/4 cup of pasta water and then put everything into the skillet with the fat. So different order and different amount of pasta water. What is your preferred method? For tonight I’ll stick to the video!
Cacio e pepe is my number one, your carbonara is my number two!
Parmesan is cow's milk cheese, pecorino is sheep's milk cheese (pecora = sheep).
Here's a fun (and related) quiz:
Why is Northern Italian veal called "vitello", but in Southern Italy it's called "vitella"?

Would love to try this but allergic to cheese (I know) - any suggestions for alternatives?
Do you have any idea how much we love your Home Movies Tuesday? This recipe is delish! Thank you!
Thanks. I love most of your recipes. Being a vegetarian, I would love to see a vegetarian dish inspired by this recipe.
