Luciano Monosilio Carbonara Sauce – Italian Chef's Recipe 170g

Chef Luciano Monosilio's carbonara sauce captures the Roman classic in a jar. Made by Tartuflanghe, the Piedmont-based conserva specialist, this ready-to-use sauce blends egg, guanciale, Pecorino Romano, and black pepper — the four pillars of authentic carbonara. At 170 grams, it's enough to dress a full plate of pasta without the fuss of sourcing each component separately.

About this product

Unlike shelf-stable cream-based imitations, Monosilio's version respects carbonara's lean, savory character. The sauce arrives in a glass jar, meant to be stirred into hot pasta (reserve a splash of pasta water to loosen if needed). Tartuflanghe's small-batch production in northern Italy ensures the egg and cheese don't curdle or separate. The result is silky, with the umami depth of cured pork and aged Pecorino — familiar enough to feel like home cooking, refined enough for a dinner guest.

How to enjoy

• Toss through fresh egg tagliatelle or spaghetti; add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
• Warm gently in a pan with diced guanciale or pancetta for an even richer dish.
• Spoon over polenta or into a creamy risotto for a non-traditional but delicious twist.
• Use as a base sauce for baked pasta layers.

⭐ Why we love this

Tartuflanghe's carbonara honors the Roman tradition without compromise—no cream, no shortcuts, just egg, guanciale, Pecorino Romano, and black pepper in perfect balance. This is how Italian chefs make it at home, and now you can replicate that silky, umami-rich result in minutes.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve alongside a crisp white wine like Vermentino di Sardinia or a light Barbera d'Alba from the Piedmont region where this sauce is made. The acidity cuts through the richness of the guanciale and egg, while the pasta's starch completes the classic Italian pairing.

📍 From Spain

While this sauce originates from Piedmont in northern Italy—home to Tartuflanghe's artisanal conserva workshop—Iberian Direct sources it as part of our curated selection of Europe's finest Mediterranean staples. We've included it because it represents the same dedication to small-batch, ingredient-led cooking that defines Spain's greatest food traditions.
