Directions
1
Slice the guanciale into thin strips, remove the rind, and dice into small to medium-sized pieces.
2
Grate the cheese into a bowl.
3
Add in the egg yolks and whisk until it all comes together.
4
Cook the pasta as per the packet instructions.
5
In a pan over a medium heat, add the guanciale and cook for four to five minutes until golden and the fat has rendered.
6
Add the pasta straight into the pan with the guanciale.
7
Give this a really good mix through so those oils can coat the pasta.
8
Add in the egg and cheese mix and mix this around really quickly to avoid clumping.
9
Add the pasta water in a little bit at a time until you get the perfect consistency.
10
Serve in bowls and top with guanciale, freshly grated pecorino romano cheese, and cracked black pepper.
