This Kimchi Carbonara recipe combines the traditional Italian pasta dish with the spicy, tangy flavors of Korean kimchi. The guanciale or speck add a savory, smoky touch, while the parmesan and eggs create a creamy, rich sauce. Topped with spring onions and black pepper, it's a unique and delicious twist on a classic.
