Directions

  1. 1Start with a "ciocolata", one whole egg, and three egg yolks.
  2. 2Add some fresh cracked pepper and some Parmigiano Reggiano.
  3. 3Give that a good mix.
  4. 4Use Guanciale, not bacon. Cut off the rind and slice it up into little sticks.
  5. 5Heavily salt boiling water and drop in your pasta.
  6. 6Slowly render your guanciale in a pan. There is so much fat already in the pork that you don't have to add any food lube.
  7. 7Once it's just a little bit crispy, remove it and carefully pour out that pork fat and remove all these little bits from the pan.
  8. 8With your heat completely off, add back in a little bit of that pork fat and your pasta.
  9. 9Add a little bit of pasta water.
  10. 10Little by little, add in your eggs and cheese and mix it aggressively.
  11. 11Toss back in your guanciale.
  12. 12Add a little more Parmigiano Reggiano.
