Carbonara at Uncle Jimmy’s Country Cooking
At Uncle Jimmy’s Country Cooking in Eufaula, Oklahoma, we are proud to offer a comforting and indulgent dish that has become a favorite among our guests: Carbonara. This classic Italian pasta dish is known for its rich, creamy sauce and satisfying flavors. At Uncle Jimmy’s, we serve our Carbonara with large flat noodles, which provide the perfect base to soak up the savory, luscious sauce. Paired with crispy bacon and finished with parmesan cheese, our version of this beloved dish is sure to please both traditionalists and those looking for a hearty twist on a classic recipe.
Large Flat Noodles: A Perfect Base
The key to any great pasta dish is the pasta itself, and at Uncle Jimmy’s, we choose large flat noodles for our Carbonara. These noodles have a broad surface area that allows for better sauce adhesion, ensuring that every bite is bursting with flavor. The noodles are cooked to perfection—al dente, with just the right amount of bite. Their texture is a perfect match for the creamy sauce, creating a satisfying contrast with the rich and crispy toppings that finish the dish.
The large flat noodles give the dish a more rustic feel, making it feel comforting and hearty. They absorb the carbonara sauce beautifully, letting the flavors of the sauce shine through with every bite. Whether you’re a fan of traditional spaghetti or love the unique texture of flat noodles, this choice adds depth to the dish, making it an unforgettable meal.
Classic Carbonara Sauce: Creamy and Rich
At the heart of every Carbonara is its signature sauce, and we at Uncle Jimmy’s take pride in perfecting this essential component. Our Carbonara sauce is made using a combination of eggs, cream, and parmesan cheese, which are whisked together to create a velvety, rich, and creamy texture. This sauce is poured generously over the pasta, coating each noodle with its smooth, decadent consistency.
The sauce itself is simple yet luxurious, with the richness of the cream perfectly balanced by the sharp, nutty flavor of the parmesan. The eggs give the sauce a silky texture, while the cheese adds depth and umami. As the sauce clings to the noodles, it creates a comforting, indulgent dish that will satisfy your cravings for something rich and flavorful. It’s a true celebration of simple yet delicious ingredients, coming together to create a dish that feels both elegant and satisfying.
Crispy Bacon: The Perfect Crunch
No Carbonara is complete without a generous helping of crispy bacon. We take the time to cook the bacon to perfection—crispy, golden, and full of flavor. The crispy texture of the bacon adds a delightful contrast to the creamy sauce and tender noodles. Every bite of the dish offers a satisfying crunch from the bacon, along with the smoky, salty flavor that perfectly complements the richness of the sauce.
The bacon is also chopped into small pieces, ensuring that each forkful of pasta includes a bit of crispy bacon. This combination of textures—creamy pasta and crispy bacon—creates an irresistible contrast that will keep you coming back for more.
Customizable Options: Add-Ons to Elevate Your Meal
While our Carbonara is already a satisfying and flavorful dish on its own, we understand that everyone has different tastes and preferences. That’s why we offer several add-ons to elevate your meal. You can choose to add chicken, steak, shrimp, or a dinner salad to make your dish even more satisfying.
- Chicken: Tender, grilled chicken adds a hearty protein to the dish, complementing the creamy carbonara sauce and bacon with its mild flavor.
- Steak: For those craving something a little more indulgent, we offer juicy steak, cooked to your liking. The savory richness of the steak perfectly complements the creamy pasta, adding another layer of flavor.
- Shrimp: If you prefer seafood, our shrimp is a great choice. The shrimp adds a delicate sweetness to the dish that balances the richness of the carbonara sauce, making for a truly luxurious meal.
- Dinner Salad: If you’re looking to add some freshness to your meal, our dinner salad is the perfect addition. Crisp greens, fresh vegetables, and a light dressing help balance the richness of the pasta and make for a more well-rounded meal.
Each of these add-ons can be added to your Carbonara for a personalized touch, making it the perfect dish whether you’re looking for extra protein, a seafood option, or a light and refreshing salad on the side.
