INGREDIENTS:

• 150g Spaghetti or Bucatini

• 100g Premium Guanciale or Pancetta, diced

• 60g Freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese

• 2 Large organic egg yolks (for extra creaminess)

• 2 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper 🧂

• Sea salt (for the pasta water only)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. BOIL THE PASTA: Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted water until it is "al dente". Reserve a small cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.

2. CRISP THE MEAT: While the pasta cooks, sauté the guanciale in a pan over medium heat until it becomes golden and crispy. Remove from heat.

3. THE EGG CREAM: In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the grated Pecorino Romano and plenty of black pepper until a thick paste forms.

4. THE EMULSION: Add the drained pasta to the pan with the guanciale. Pour in the egg mixture and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss rapidly off the heat to create a silky, creamy sauce.

5. SERVE: Plate the pasta in a swirl, topping with extra cheese and more black pepper for a gourmet finish.
