A classic Roman pasta dish with a creamy egg and cheese sauce, crispy guanciale, and a generous amount of black pepper. Chef Stefano Barbato demonstrates a simple yet high-quality version.
- Difficulty
- medium
Ingredients
7 items- GuancialeAlso called tocino; cut into small strips
- SpaghettiQuantity depends on number of servings; also suitable for short pasta like macaroni
- EggApproximately 1 egg per person, but for 3 people use 2 eggs; for 4 people use 3 eggs
- Parmigiano ReggianoGrated; to taste
- Black PepperTo taste
- Extra Virgin Olive OilA little for frying and a drop in the egg mixture
- SaltFor the pasta water; no additional salt needed in the sauce as guanciale and cheese are salty
Method
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the spaghetti.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with grated Parmesan, a pinch of black pepper, and a drop of extra virgin olive oil until creamy.
- In a pan, fry the guanciale pieces in a little olive oil until they render their fat and become crispy.
- When the pasta is al dente, transfer it directly to the pan with the guanciale and toss to coat.
- Turn off the heat and pour the egg mixture over the pasta, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
- Serve immediately, topping with extra crispy guanciale and a final sprinkle of black pepper.
