## Ingredients

- 1 whole egg
- 3 egg yolks
- 0 fresh cracked pepper
- 2 cups Parmigiano Reggiano
- 3 slices Guanciale
- 250 g Spaghetti
- 0 salt

## Instructions

1. Start with a ‘ciotola’, one whole egg, and three egg yolks.
2. Add some freshly cracked pepper and some Parmigiano Reggiano (aged).
3. Mix well.
4. Cut the guanciale into little sticks and remove the rind.
5. Boil the pasta water with some salt and then drop in your pasta.
6. Slowly render your guanciale. There is so much fat already in the pork, that you don't have to add any food.
7. Remove it once it's just a little bit crispy.
8. Carefully pour out the pork fat and remove all the little bits from the pan.
9. With your heat completely off, add back in a little bit of the pork fat and your pasta.
10. Add a little bit of pasta water.
11. Add in your eggs and cheese, and mix it aggressively.
12. If you did it right, it should emulsify beautifully.
13. Toss back in your guanciale.
14. Add a little more Parmigiano Reggiano.
