A Roman pasta with a creamy sauce of egg yolks, pecorino and black pepper with crisp guanciale — and absolutely no cream.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Boil the pasta in salted water.
  2. Fry the sliced guanciale in a dry pan until crisp; take the pan off the heat.
  3. Whisk yolks and egg with the cheese and plenty of pepper.
  4. Drain the pasta, keeping a cup of water, and add it to the pan with the guanciale.
  5. Off the heat, add the egg mixture and toss quickly with splashes of pasta water until creamy and glossy.
