Been making this a lot lately and it’s so much easier/fancier than it sounds. Take a thinnish piece of bone in veal (traditional), pork, or chicken, bread it, and fry in a pan in some butter or olive oil. I like serving it with a saffron risotto (more work) or just a simple salad with balsamic vinaigrette. Put a little parsley over the meat too and have a lemon wedge to squeeze over.

Ojjjj, it is veal with a tuna sauce. The fact it scares some, just makes me love it more. I have only found it once outside Italy, cheffs have told me good veal is hard to find. I think they should liberate themselves and play with other proteins, so I can have at least a tiny memory back of how it tasted the first time I had it

This is different from that one that you can get at chain restaurants where it’s just chicken Alfredo with peas and carrots.
The “real” thing is just the best dish. it’s cheap, comforting, simple (the technique is like riding a bike. Once you know how to do it you can always do it), and it’s a fantastic dish to serve guests. It’s so good they’ll want more but even one box of pasta will feed a ton of people cause it’s kinda heavy. Just serve with like an lemon arugula salad, some bread, and wine.
I attached the recipe that helped me mail the technique cause people have all sorts of ways they get the sauce to cook correctly.
I like it best with rigatoni but any kinda thick pasta that sauce clings to will work.
You gotta use wedge Parmesan, not the pre grated stuff.
I also gotta say that guanciale can be hard to find and/or expensive but pancetta works great and honestly (don’t kill me Italians) just regular bacon works really well too.

Must include assortment of meaty mushrooms cooked in BUTTER and some garlicy spring greens — ramps, leeks, wild garlic, broccolini, etc. Mix with pasta, pasta water, egg, egg yolk, parm and you won’t even miss the pancetta (pigs are really smart 🥹).

I don’t believe in ranking things- restaurants, albums, books, movies, athletes anything, top x lists whatever. I think it’s a waste of time honestly. Even with a completely objective criterion what’s the point. Would rather listen to and read people just talk about their favorite things and why they are special and meaningful to them- everyone has their own, interesting reasons. And this is a great place to do that!
