Spaghetti, Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish using eggs, pecorino romano, guanciale, and black pepper. The dish was formulated in the middle of the 20th century.

The dishes vary, although all agree that cheese (Parmesan, pecorino, or a mixture), egg yolks (or whole eggs), cured fatty pork, and black pepper are standard. The pork is fried in fat (olive oil or lard); a mixture of eggs, cheese, and butter or olive oil is combined with the hot pasta, cooking the eggs; the pork is then added to the pasta. Guanciale is the most traditional meat, but pancetta is usually used. In the US, it is more often than not made with American bacon.
