Alex Guarnaschelli is a prominent chef and cookbook author known for merging French culinary techniques with American comfort food while respecting her Italian roots. As executive chef at Butter, a key NYC restaurant, she also significantly influences culinary media, notably on Food Network shows like "Chopped" and "Iron Chef America." Her unique culinary approach extends to her favorite dish, pasta carbonara, specifically her version called cheater's carbonara, where she uses cream to create a creamy texture without risking overcooking eggs. Guarnaschelli enhances the dish by adding red wine vinegar for extra acidity, combating heaviness.
You're not dealing with such an acute possibility of ending up with an omelet. The cream - it's like a mediator in a divorce.
I never think you can have enough acidity, especially when there's so much fat in a recipe.
