Perfect Spaghetti Carbonara

Method

Cut the guanciale in chunks and cook gently in a pan until crispy. Put the guanciale aside and keep the fat in the pan.

Set a small amount of the grated cheese to one side, then in a bowl whisk the egg yolks with the grated cheeses and a generous amount of black pepper.

Cook the pasta until al dente (approx. 3 minutes less than the cooking time on the pack), then put in the pan with the guanciale fat and add some pasta water. Stir until the past is coated. Turn the heat down and stir in the set aside cheese to cool the pasta down. Now add the egg and cheese mixture to the pasta and stir fast! Be careful not to overcook the eggs, remove from the heat if necessary. Continue stirring to create a creamy sauce coating all the pasta.

Serve with the crispy guanciale on top, extra grated cheese and black pepper. Buon appetito.
