    My foolproof technique would be to have Frank Proto come to my house and make it.
  • @cyberpizzapunk
    I think mixing everything in bowl makes this dish much easier, I had a experience of fail this because of overcooked egg. great simple tip!
  • @paolopisapia73
    Complimenti! I'm Italian and I am really proud of a YouTube chef that makes a proper carbonara. You know that Frank is a real chef when he makes dish like these properly! 😙👌

    I am lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs. But watching Chef Frank is an absolute delight
  • @xxPenjoxx
    That's a solid way of crushing peppercorns. Especially since he said to keep it kinda big pieces. I dont have a mortar n pestle, and the grinder makes it tiny.
  • @paola7045
    This is the first time I’ve seen a chef mix everything in the bowl. I always did that and it always turned out great. It’s a much easier technique!
  • @Tsyras
    Never mixed in the egg/cheese bowl. Think I will try that next time.
  • @bodhileaf
    I've been cooking Italian food for 27 years and never thought to have a pepper, egg, cheese mixture ready to roll...thanks Frank!! A chef's Chef!
  • @josereyna8885
    Awesome! I’ve always finished the mixing in the pan but am going to do it in the bowl. Thanks for the tip!
