First of all, I want to note that many people are mistaken in calling many pastas with parmesan, cream and chicken - carbonara. The correct carbonara is made from cheeks, sometimes it is replaced with bacon (although this is not entirely correct) and cream is not added to it. I do not know the correct name for what many in the Russian Federation call Carbonara, believing that it is cream + cheese + (eggs), but this is definitely not carbonara.
