bacon or any dry cured ham
Blanched bacon
Are you sure you're not misreading pancetta? Pancetta is an Italian cured bacon-y meat.
Sort of. Although regular carbonara uses pancetta (Italian bacon) which is basically bacon but it isn't smoked, bacon works just fine too so you can just substitute pancetta with halal turkey bacon and it should be just as good (preferably thicker turkey bacon).

It's Italian bacon that's cured in spices and salt, and dried till it's pretty tough. It's not usually smoked, has a lot of fat, and is served with pasta, sauces, or vegetables as a flavoring. It usually comes in a roll, and generally is sliced very thin.

It must be cooked. Pancetta is bacon that has been cured without smoking, but it's still raw. Prosciutto, which is aged ham, has been dry cured and can be eaten without cooking.
Pancetta and procuitto are both pork products that come from italy. Pancetta is pork belly (or bacon) that is very similar to bacon in the US, but is is rolled into a large log rather than sliced into strips. You can find it in thin rounds or chunks. Cook it the same you would bacon. Procuitto is more similar to ham. It comes from the hind leg portion of a pig and it is cured and dried. Procuitto is dried for a very long time and is best eaten as is without any cooking neccisary. Pancetta on the other hand is best served cooked. Both are ham products but from different parts of the animal. Pancetta is similar to American Bacon while prosciutto is more like Ham, more specifically Country Ham.
