Tuna Carbonara

Pinoy Tuna Carbonara
Tuna Carbonara. The Pinoy carbonara has evolved into a sweet and creamy white sauced spaghetti dish. This probably because of our Pinoy sweet spaghetti which have come to love by our kids and most of Pinoy. Out of curiosity I did tried the carbonara served on most fastfood courts on several occasions. These versions are creamy sweet, they use a lot of sugar and commercially sold cream.

Tuna Carbonara Recipe

Not unless you eat at authentic pasta or spaghetti restaurant you are missing the true taste of the real carbonara. Carbonara is normally topped with bacon tidbits, garnished with mixed Italian herbs (marjoram, basil, rosemary, oregano, parsley, thyme, ect.) For the sauce beaten egg is mixed in the pasta right after turning the heat off.

Here is my version using canned tuna chunks instead of the usual bacon.

2 tbsp. butter

  2. Hi Anonymous, frankly this was the first time I tried to make carbonara. There are some Pinoy carbonara recipe online but I could not suggest any as I haven’t personally tried one except this tuna version. As soon as I could cook my version I will post it immediately.
