No you can't.

>Sicilian immigrants

Pretty sure flour-and-egg fresh pasta is a more north thing. Try flour-and-water. Carbonara isn't meant to be egg on egg, so works best with flour-and-water.

Finding a good dry pasta where I live is difficult but yeah it is usually better. I was pretty shocked to find out Italians themselves don’t even make their own pasta while I was living there, they just buy it dried.

I’m all for tradition, my mum and her entire living family are Sicilian immigrants. You don’t need to stick to rules so aggressively, I enjoy making pasta fresh so I will make it fresh. Also you can get al dente pasta from fresh pasta?
