Four recipes from chef Marçal Hortigüela to celebrate "Carbonara Day".
Every April 6th, Italians proudly celebrate one of their most iconic dishes: carbonara. A well-deserved tribute, already world-class, to a recipe originating in Lazio that combines creaminess and flavour in every bite.

We're sure you've fallen in love with the spectacular recipes that Marçal Horttigüela shares on his Instagram profile @marsal.gourmet . A young chef specialising in Italian cuisine with whom Biribox has the great pleasure of collaborating regularly, as his talent in the kitchen is enormous and makes us drool over each of his video recipes.
Today, on "Carbonara Day", we share with you four carbonara recipes from Marçal Hortigüela that will make you fall in love even more with this delicious sauce and that go beyond the traditional preparation with eggs, pepper, guacinale and pecorino cheese. Oh! Important: carbonara never contains cream!
Carbonara with shrimp and truffle.
A luxury carbonara where the sea and the countryside come together in perfect harmony.
In this recipe, Marçal replaces the guacinale with red tuna tacos and enhances the sea flavour by finishing it with katsuobushi, Japanese dried bonito flakes. The result is spectacular: pure umami!
A recipe that will make you a success as a chef, in which Marçal makes cabonara with delicate slices of artichokes that he previously preserves. And good news: it's artichoke season!
We fell in love with this dish at first sight: pure flavour and maximum creaminess!
