A typical Italian Food - Pasta alla "Carbonara" a typical recipe of Rome tradition and Italian tradition

A typical recipe of Italian traditions , especially Roman traditions . Easy to do, but that once tasted you can hardly forget . Tradition would like to use only seasoned and grated Pecorino Romano, but if you do not like the taste too strong , you can replace a portion of cheese with Original Parmigiano Reggiano (or original Grana Padano ) that definitely has a taste and a flavor less "strong " .
