This year, #CarbonaraDay is quite different than usual—no special tasting menus or street food vendors serving spaghetti carbonara by the bowlful. Yet the desire to celebrate one of Italy’s most beloved dishes persists—stronger than ever—so, why not prepare a #CarbonaraHomeMade that connects us all?
In honor of Carbonara Day, Barilla has crafted a virtual journey. Visit the @Barilla Instagram account to participate in the fun starting now.
At 5.00 pm SGT/11.00 am CET: Andrea Tranchero, Barilla’s corporate chef, prepares vegetarian carbonara.
At 12.30 pm CET/6.30 pm EST: Lorenzo Cogo, chef of the Michelin-starred El Coq in Vicenza, interprets a traditional version of the timeless pasta. He’ll also demonstrate an alternative riff on the classic at 7:00 pm CET for @Barillaitalia.
At 11.30 am CDT/12.30 pm EST: Milan-based chef Lorenzo Boni cooks his own version while revealing his secrets for a perfect plate of carbonara.
