Nutritional values

Spaghetti provides a lot of energy-rich carbohydrates; bacon, parmesan and egg yolk provide a good portion of protein. Calcium from the cheese also supports bone and dental health.

As the vegetable content of a classic carbonara is very lean, it is recommended to reduce the portion by a third and to serve a mixed leaf salad with a vinaigrette. This saves calories and replenishes the daily vegetable account.

For more fibre, spaghetti can be replaced by the wholemeal variant.
