Spaghetti Carbonara with Korean BBQ Rub
Carbonara has always been about balance: creamy eggs, sharp cheese, savory pork, and starchy pasta water working together in perfect harmony. It is one of Italy’s most iconic comfort foods, celebrated for its richness and simplicity. This Korean BBQ Carbonara respects that foundation while weaving in a new layer of flavor. Instead of relying solely on pepper or traditional pancetta, the dish is enhanced with Revolution Barbecue Korean BBQ Rub, a seasoning that blends smoky paprika, cayenne, and gochugaru with just the right amount of tang and sweetness. The rub transforms the sauce into something deeper and more complex, while still preserving the silkiness carbonara is known for. With each bite you taste umami from the bacon, salt and sharpness from pecorino romano, and a subtle warmth that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Finished with scallions and sesame seeds, this dish captures the essence of two food cultures at once, reminding us that comfort food is meant to evolve while still feeling familiar.
