Ingredients
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced guanciale. Cook until it becomes crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Pecorino Romano, and a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper until well combined.
- Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and add it directly to the skillet with the guanciale.
- Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture, tossing vigorously to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional Pecorino Romano and black pepper.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
