Fake Spaghetti Carbonara – #wirrettenwaszurettenist
Pane-Bistecca
This recipe for fake spaghetti carbonara isn’t quite original, but it’s super quick. And that’s exactly what we, from the #wirrettenwaszurettenist team, want to show you!
We do a quarterly blog event in which we take up a dish or a topic that you can buy ready-made in the supermarket. But what’s in these ready meals makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
It’s no quicker to cook spaghetti and heat up the sauce. It takes the same amount of time to cook the spaghetti, stir the sauce and fry the bacon.
I never buy ready-made sauces because I want the healthiest, most natural ingredients possible in my pasta!
Back to my fake spaghetti carbonara! Here in Asia, you can get a lot of it ready-made in a jar. As the Filipinos are oriented towards America due to their history, there are a lot of products from America available here. This includes jars and jars of carbonara sauce. But their carbonara sauce contains not only the original ingredients, eggs, cheese, pepper, bacon, but also mushrooms, cream, sugar(!!!), cream cheese, yeast extract, and much more, especially colorings, stabilizers, etc.
My fake carbonara has cream in it to imitate the ready-made sauce, but no color, no sugar, no chemical additives! Hence the name “fake” spaghetti carbonara!
I Thank Silvia from Brotwein for her work in our group and for organizing the topics and Martin for compiling the link lists.

Notes
Easy and quick!
Here you can clearly see the nonsense on the labels of non-Italian ready-made carbonara sauces. Carbonara sauce with apple pie, pancakes and dessert??? Some Italians are turning in their graves!!!
And a label with the ingredients of the ready-made sauces.

Ob nicht “richtig”, “falsch”, “authentisch” oder nicht, schmecken muss es!
Und, das können wir aus Erfahrung sagen, es schmeck auch mit Sahne 🙂
LG Harald
Ganz richtig!

Witzig, grade gestern gab es etwas ganz Ähnliches bei uns, allerdings Sauce getrennt gereicht, der Rest ergab heute die Basis für Mac’nCheese. Uns schmecken beide Varianten, die “echte” wie die “unechte” und ich freu mich über deine Vorstellung des Rezepts
Grüßle Christine
Auch mir schmecken beide, einfach gut gewürzt muss es sein.

Schinken-Sahne-Sauce-Pasta ist halt auch eine leckere Variante, auch wenn sie nicht original ist! Vor allem geht sie schnell und einfach zu machen und ist somit ein tolles Gericht für die ruck-zuck Feierabendküche.
Danke fürs mitmachen.
Lieben Gruß Sylvia
Genau so ist es!
LG Wilma
Egal, ob die Originalcarbonara oder Pasta con Panna, beides ist schnell gemacht und braucht wirklich keine Sauce aus dem Glas; und beides ist richtig lecker!
Liebe Grüße
Britta
Das finde ich auch!

Ja, die Fertigfutterindustrie ist schon schlimm! Mir graust es immer, wenn ich solche Etiketten sehe. Danke, dass du zeigst, dass es anders auch geht.
Manche Sachen sind sehr fraglich, ich wundere mich, wieso das Gesundheitswesen sowas zulässt.
