This is twist or shall I say elevated classic dish. For those who are new to carbonara. Being such a classic dish I thought why not make a seafood version. Whereas the classic Italian dish consists of guanciale, pork cheek to me and you. Pasta, hard cheese, egg yolk and pasta, To be honest as long you understand the fundamentals of how to make the original dish you can make your own variations.

I know it’s not technically a carbonara as it comprises of mainly pork. Don’t cancel me, or hang me up, yes this is directed to the Italians. It’s just a tester on a classic dish I’m not trying to do a Jamie Oliver here lol.
