How to Cook
-
Heat the pasta water: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use 1 tbsp salt per 2 quarts of water).
-
Sauté the guanciale (or pancetta): While the water heats, warm olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced guanciale and cook until crispy.
-
Prepare the egg-cheese mixture: In a bowl, whisk eggs and stir in half of the grated cheese (Pecorino Romano or Parmesan).
-
Cook the pasta: Once the water boils, add the pasta and cook until al dente (firm but not hard).
-
Combine pasta with guanciale: Using tongs, transfer the cooked pasta directly into the skillet with the guanciale, reserving some pasta water. Toss well—the heat from the pasta will help form the sauce.
-
Add the egg mixture: Remove the skillet from heat, then quickly stir in the egg-cheese mixture. The residual heat will thicken the eggs into a creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it. Season with salt if desired.
-
Serve immediately: Plate the pasta, top with the remaining cheese, freshly ground black pepper, and optional chopped parsley.
