Called “the coal miner’s pasta” for its hearty taste and signature use of black pepper flakes, pasta carbonara is a staple in an Italian food lover’s arsenal. But who does it best? Today on Recipe Wars, our chefs Adrian Bustamante and B.C. Hoffman pit two recipes against each other to see which makes a better pasta. On the one hand, we’ve got Mario Batali’s version, on the other, Anne Burrell’s, his old sous chef. Will the student become the master, or will Batali win out? Tune in to find out.

    As American you must know the history of carbonara

  4. kitchenrestock

    Don’t know about anyone else but +Mario Batali Carbonara style is looking
    mighty fine!

    I have made Anne’s version and OMG is it excellent. It’s so rich and
    creamy. Just make sure you stir the hell out of it when adding the eggs so
    you don’t scramble them. 

  6. Kristy Napier

    I think I’ll do Anne’s recipe and add in Mario’s egg yolk and extra
    Parmesan. Combine what you love about both recipes. No one said you
    couldn’t, right?

    Noobs

    This is a joke, right? These two Food Network educated morons wouldn’t make
    it in a professional kitchen let alone an Applebees. Though I like the
    Carbonara history which was almost taken word for word from Wikipedia.

  11. dirtyyicecream

    it. By the end of the video I forgot how they even cooked it. Thanks!

  16. Iohan Varga
