Method

1

Dice the guanciale into 5 mm cubes and render in a dry skillet over medium heat without oil until crispy.

2

Whisk 4 room-temperature egg yolks with fresh pecorino and a generous amount of black pepper until a thick paste forms.

3

Boil the pasta, making sure to reserve a mug of the starchy cooking water.

4

Drain the pasta 1-2 minutes shy of al dente and transfer it directly into the skillet with the guanciale, turning off the heat.

5

Add the egg yolk mixture and toss continuously, splashing in the reserved pasta water one spoonful at a time until a creamy sauce emulsifies.
