Gordon Ramsay has sparked outrage among Italians by daring to add peas to a spaghetti carbonara dish served at his Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza restaurants.
The celebrity chef, 57, stirred up controversy by incorporating the quintessentially British veg into his take on the Italian classic, traditionally made with guanciale or bacon, pecorino cheese and egg.
Italian native Juline Marconi was less than impressed, exclaiming: "For fudge sake. Guanciale, egg and pecorino, it's not that hard." Meanwhile, fellow countryman Sandro Luc chimed in: "I love Gordon but this is not carbonara." Amedeo Emmolo pleaded: "Please, delete this and never cook pasta again."
Brit Chris Bane also weighed in, stating: "That's not a carbonara on any level. What is this abomination of Italian food. Shame on you Gordon." Gordon's seemingly offensive pasta recipe comes after the celebrity chef tried popstar Dua Lipa's favourite drink - and was left wishing he hadn't.

Jam Press Vid)Dua, 29, got people talking when she divulged her peculiar take on Diet Coke. Kicking off the recipe, Dua poured the fizzy beverage into a glass, then proceeded to add a splash of pickle juice and a few actual pickles for good measure.
To top it all off, she drizzled in some fiery Jalapeno sauce before giving the whole thing a vigorous shake. While the bizarre blend raised eyebrows across social media, the star appeared to relish her creation.
However, not everyone was impressed, least of all celebrity chef Gordon. The Hell's Kitchen star couldn't resist trying out the wacky mix himself, resulting in a hilarious reaction that's had the internet in fits of laughter.
In his own video response, Ramsay exclaimed: "Ok, let's go. Diet Coke in. A little bit of jalapeno juice, a little pickle juice. Pickles in, jalapenos in, and then literally top that up with some more coke, and a little bit more juice."

The pro chef's taste test has since become an online hit, racking up more than 71,000 likes and plenty of amusing comments.
One fan joked: "You can never go wrong with anything Dua Lipa says." Another commented: "I will not be trying, but 100% trust Gordon's review." Someone else responded: "That's about the reaction I expected." Another added their praise, saying: "This collab is fire. The vibes are unmatched."
