Comments on: Spaghetti alla Carbonada. Well, practically nada. http://umamigirl.com/2010/05/how-to-make-vegetarian-carbonara-recipe-html.html A food blog by Carolyn Cope Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:03:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Peter Thomas Fornatale http://umamigirl.com/2010/05/how-to-make-vegetarian-carbonara-recipe-html.html/comment-page-1#comment-8263 Peter Thomas Fornatale Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:06:53 +0000 http://umamigirl.com/?p=3935#comment-8263 A good question. I think I'm just going to be self-indulgent this summer and put some more food posts right alongside the racing stuff. I honestly don't know what I like more about Saratoga, the track or that amazing farmer's market! And by the way, I'm very serious about your doing a memoir (if you're not working on one already). When I'm not being a degenerate gambler or in the kitchen, I'm a writer/editor. . .feel free to contact me privately if you ever want to discuss. A good question.

The harissa added a little smokiness and both helped in terms of. . .wait for it. . . umami. Might do a write up w pics on blog soon.

It's a lot easier than you'd think to make the pasta look like that—I'm definitely not a hairspray and tweezers type. I just twirled it around a big serving fork and put it in the bowl. For me, a big key to styling is to plate a little (or sometimes a lot) less food than you might otherwise. Good luck! Hi Will and Kelsey, thanks!

A little lemon zest would be delish too. I second Wills question, how did you maneuver the noodles so beautifully? xo Simple and Divine. A little lemon zest would be delish too.

With one that is Meatless Always... and two that rarely eat it... It might be a goal I can actually stick to! haha. Sounds fantastic… & looks BEAUTIFUL!

Love the pic. I have been playing with this too, looking for some sort of umami substitute for the bacon. So far I have tried capers, anchovies, and smoked salmon, with some luck. But it is not the same. Must try you recipe soon. Yum! Love the pic. I have been playing with this too, looking for some sort of umami substitute for the bacon.
