Per serving, Spaghetti Carbonara runs about 14% more expensive in South Korea than in United States. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pecorino Romano, which is priced noticeably higher in South Korea — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. The two markets land close enough that picking the right supermarket probably matters more than picking the country.
