Gordon Ramsay has angered Italians by placing PEAS in carbonara
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has angered Italians by putting peas in a spaghetti carbonara dish.
The TV chef, 57, added the quintessentially British vegetable into his version of the Italian classic, spaghetti carbonara.
However, the popular pasta dish is traditionally made with guanciale or bacon, pecorino cheese and egg.
The extra ingredient of peas left Italians and carbonara fans fuming, with some begging Gordon to never cook pasta again.
The £15 dish is being served at his Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza restaurants across the UK.

Italian Juline Marconi fumed: ‘For fudge sake. Guanciale, egg and pecorino, it’s not that hard.’
Fellow compatriot Sandro Luc added: ‘I love Gordon but this is not carbonara.’ Amedeo Emmolo said: ‘Please, delete this and never cook pasta again.’
Briton Chris Bane said: ‘That’s not a carbonara on any level.’ Connor Musson said: ‘What is this abomination of Italian food. For shame Gordon.’
Another person joked: ‘I’m not even Italian and I’m offended.’ While someone else added: ‘People have to pay for that?’
Another said: ‘RIP carbonara.’ Meanwhile someone else quipped: ‘Gordon is not scared of Italians.’
It’s not the first time that the celeb chef has received criticism for some of his culinary creations.
In June the Hell’s Kitchen star was blasted for his new breakfast burger with a runny fried egg in it.
A month earlier, Ramsay was branded stingy for serving just six chips with a steak at his Heddon Street Kitchen.

The 57-year-old’s Instagram account boasted about the grilled flat iron steak which is served up with chunky chips and fancy corn chimichurri sauce.
It costs £19.50 at his Heddon Street Kitchen eatery in upmarket Mayfair, west London, but foodies were all quick to say the same thing about the lack of fries.
The meat is sliced and the sauce drizzled over the top with a salad garnish, but there are just six chips piled up in a tower on the plate.
One social media commenter fumed: ‘Six chips, come out of it. Who you kidding? Give me a plate of them.’
Another joked: ‘How tight on the chips? I’ve had fish and chips there and thought the fish had ate the chips.’
A fellow follower wrote: ‘Looks good, I would like more than six chips though please.’
Brandon Larnell said: ‘Please don’t make my fries look cute and put more on the plate.’

Diners have branded a Gordon Ramsay burger a ‘f***ing mess’ because it has cheese sprinkled on top of the bun, making it difficult to eat
Another – named Patrick – exclaimed: ‘Six fries?’ Jean said: ‘Cool where’s the rest of the chips?’ Christie added: ‘Six chips? I’d flip the table.’
The steak and chips does come with a starter or dessert as part of the price.
The summer set menu is £19.50 for two courses or £24.50 for three.
But it is only on weekday lunchtimes and afternoons and not available for groups bigger than 12.
It comes after diners branded a Gordon Ramsay burger a ‘f***ing mess’ because it has cheese sprinkled on top of the bun, making it difficult to eat.
The dish – which according to the online menu costs £18 and comes with fries – is stuffed with a double beef patty, American cheese, onion and Sriracha mayonnaise.
The TV chef is selling the Next Level Burger at nine Street Burger restaurants across the UK, but social media foodies have slammed the meal online.
He promoted the dish in a social media post, sharing an Instagram reel with his 17.3 million followers.
In the clip, the burger is also topped with a spoonful of mac and cheese.
‘Treat yourself to a tasty Next Level smash stack this weekend at @gordonramsaystreetburger!!’ the cook wrote.
Commenters however appeared less than impressed with the offering.
‘Looks a right mess,’ one wrote, hitting out at the sauce and toppings spilling out from the bun.
‘Looked great until you put that white stuff on top,’ another added.
Another penned: ‘Making a burger that isn’t easily picked up shows fundamental misunderstanding of a burger.’
Elsewhere, one person simply instructed that the chef ‘start over’.
‘Looks delicious but how are you supposed to eat that?’ one commenter questioned. ‘Way too messy to pick up and eat,’ another remarked.
Others also took issue with the price, adding that it was pricey for Britons going through a cost-of-living-crisis.
‘I’m sure it tastes nice but I don’t think the wallet would agree.’
Yet some fans were more convinced, and found the meal looked ‘smashing’ and ‘incredible’.
