Steps to cook
-
Prepare the ingredients. This is what will be on your plate - prepare the ingredients in advance so the work goes smoothly 🍝🔪 At the same time, put a pot of water for the pasta on the stove.
-
Cook the pasta. Once the water in the pot starts to boil, salt it and add the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions so it is al dente.
-
Fry the guanciale. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry the bacon (originally guanciale) for a few minutes until golden and the fat has rendered.
-
Add the pasta. Transfer the cooked pasta to the pan with the guanciale and add some of the pasta cooking water, approximately one ladle per two people.
-
Make the sauce. Return the pan to medium heat, generously pepper the contents and add grated cheese (originally pecorino, if you have it). Mix everything so a creamy sauce forms. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more pasta water. At this stage you can optionally add a knob of butter for a smoother flavor.
-
Plate the pasta. Turn off the heat and divide the pasta among plates.
-
Add more pepper. Grate cheese over each portion and pepper again
-
Serve. Serve 🧀✨
