Silky-smooth noodles twirled in a rich, creamy (but cream-less) sauce, nutty pecorino cheese, and bits of salty bacon, our Bucatini Carbonara is the ultimate in Italian comfort food and arguably, the simplest. Our version amps up the amount of both cheese and bacon, adds in a little bit of garlic, and swaps out classic spaghetti for thick bucatini noodles.
