Homemade Gnocchi Carbonara Recipe

June 24th 2011 08:06
homemade gnocchi carbonara with parmesan cheese
Pasta carbonara is not a classical Italian dish like cannelloni or lasagne, but a relatively modern one. Carbonara is Italian for ‘charcoal burner.’ Initially made with just bacon, beaten egg and salt and pepper, Pasta carbonara is believed to have originated when American soldiers were stationed in Italy at the end of World War II. The GI’s were issued with bacon and powdered egg which they bartered with the locals.

In the following recipe with step by step pics, I demonstrate Gnocchi Carbonara the way it is made in many restaurants, with the addition of cream and mushrooms.
