4. Place the metal bowl on top of the heated pot of water and whisk until the color and density changes to become smooth.
5. Add the guanciale to a cold pan without oil and cook over low-medium heat until the fat renders, then remove the guanciale and save the fat.
6. Cook the spaghettoni until very al dente.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the metal bowl with the egg and cheese mix and add 2-4 spoonfuls of the guanciale fat, along with enough pasta water to emulsify and achieve the desired consistency.
