This is different from that one that you can get at chain restaurants where it’s just chicken Alfredo with peas and carrots.
The “real” thing is just the best dish. it’s cheap, comforting, simple (the technique is like riding a bike. Once you know how to do it you can always do it), and it’s a fantastic dish to serve guests. It’s so good they’ll want more but even one box of pasta will feed a ton of people cause it’s kinda heavy. Just serve with like an lemon arugula salad, some bread, and wine.
I attached the recipe that helped me mail the technique cause people have all sorts of ways they get the sauce to cook correctly.
I like it best with rigatoni but any kinda thick pasta that sauce clings to will work.
You gotta use wedge Parmesan, not the pre grated stuff.
I also gotta say that guanciale can be hard to find and/or expensive but pancetta works great and honestly (don’t kill me Italians) just regular bacon works really well too.

Sometimes you can just exist. you don’t (hopefully) need 50 hustles. You don’t need to be a writer and musician and artist and podcaster and influencer and girlboss or whatever. you don’t even need to signal how cool or smart or attractive you are. I know it’s hard cause I think our society incentives (forces?) people to be “on” all the time, but it’s probably better for your own sake to just exist for yourself and your love ones and to adjust your expectations of what a successful or meaningful life is.
Sorry for being pedantic, just know a lot of friends and family my age or younger that seem to be struggling right now in all sorts of ways. Just know, regardless of what anyone says or even what you say or do, that you guys have inherent dignity and you are worth something
