Heat a skillet over medium heat; add guanciale, cook and stir until crisp, 5 to 10 minutes.

3

Whisk egg yolks and whole egg together in a bowl; whisk in ¾ cup Pecorino-Romano cheese, salt, and pepper until combined.

💡 Keep some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency as needed.Use Pecorino-Romano cheese for an authentic flavor.Avoid overcooking the eggs; they should create a creamy sauce and not scramble.
