Everyone knows the phrase “like at home nowhere”; This belief can be applied to the typical dishes of a country’s gastronomy that tend to become aberrations when they are versions in places where the chef has not followed the traditional recipe.
This is the case of @pieroarmenti, a TikTok user who has gone viral by sharing the “pasta carbonara” dish they serve in Punta Cana. As you can see, the chef in charge decides to leave the original recipe behind to focus on a new one. version.
The chef begins by sautéing onion, tomato, green pepper and corn, something that many have considered a gastronomic attack. “Look at this fantastic carbonara,” the Italian says sarcastically while he records the process.
After cooking the vegetables, the cook adds the macaroni and a white sauce that appears to be cream. “I’m excited about this dish” shouts the tiktoker, who can’t believe what his eyes are seeing. Once he sinks his teeth, the Italian gives his verdict: “The pasta is overcooked, but in my opinion the sauce tastes very good,” he says.
As expected, Internet users have commented on the funny scene, leaving all kinds of impressions: “And the guy is believing it ????” says one user, while another states: “Everything but carbonara ????”.
