Ingredients

Scale

Spaghetti:

  • 12 oz spaghetti

Guanciale:

  • 4 oz guanciale (or pancetta if unavailable), diced

Sauce:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, for pasta water

Instructions

  1. Cook Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente, according to package instructions.
  2. Cook Guanciale: While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the diced guanciale. Cook until golden and crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, Pecorino Romano cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Combine: Once pasta is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Add hot pasta to the skillet with guanciale, stirring to combine and cool for 30 seconds.
  5. Add Sauce: Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the pasta, stirring vigorously to create a creamy sauce. If too thick, add reserved pasta water gradually.
  6. Serve: Immediately serve topped with additional Pecorino Romano and black pepper.
