Carbonara (Italian: [karboˈnaːra]) is a pasta dish made with fatty cured pork, hard cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper. It is typical of the Lazio region of Italy.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The dish took its modern form and name in the middle of the 20th century.[7]

The cheese is usually pecorino romano. Some variations use Parmesan, Grana Padano, or a combination of cheeses.[6][8][9] Spaghetti is the most common pasta, but rigatoni or bucatini are also used. While guanciale, a cured pork jowl, is traditional, some variations use pancetta,[6][5] and lardons of smoked bacon are a common substitute outside Italy.
