“Hi! Tastes great! I had difficulty getting hold of Guancial! Pork itself is not easy to find in most places in India. Luckily I had sealed 500 gms packets of pickled Pork sausage…a specialty of erstwhile Portuguese culture in Goa on the West coast of India. Go” — a cook, 5★
“Hi, Ali I cut the recipe in half since it was just the 2 of us. I made the dish tonite - step by step. No issues, BUT it was waaay too salty. Whew. I say it was the too-salty pasta water. Mom and sis said it was the thick bacon I had. I wondered if maybe” — a cook, 4★
