INGREDIENTS
Oil and fats
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Meat
- 1 pound guanciale (cured pork cheek), diced
Pasta and grains
- 🍝 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
Eggs and dairy
- 🥚 3 large eggs
- 🧀 10 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese, divided
STEPS
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add guanciale. Cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy (about 5 to 10 minutes). Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Let cool, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
Whisk eggs, half of the Pecorino Romano cheese, and some black pepper in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
Pour egg mixture over the cooked pasta, stirring quickly until creamy and slightly cooled. Stir in guanciale.
Top with remaining Pecorino Romano cheese and more black pepper to taste.

💡 For an authentic texture, ensure the pasta is al dente before mixing with the sauce.Use freshly grated Pecorino Romano for the best flavor.Quickly stirring the egg mixture into hot pasta prevents scrambling while creating a creamy sauce.
