The food seems literally to literally dissolve from sight, as if you had invited to dinner one of the most skilled magicians. Have you ever tried, for example, making a dish of spaghetti carbonara and then measuring the reaction times of the guests as soon as the aroma of this popular Roman dish spreads through the house? To make it well you should follow a few key tips from our friend chef Andrea Valentinetti, with the help of which you will create a perfectly delicious pasta carbonara.
