This Spaghetti Carbonara is a timeless Roman classic brought to life with perfectly crispy guanciale, a rich egg-and-cheese sauce, and freshly cracked pepper. The pasta is cooked until al dente and tossed off heat with a creamy mixture of egg yolks, Pecorino, and Parmesan. Reserved guanciale fat and pasta water emulsify into the sauce, creating an unbelievably silky finish. Finished with more cheese and black pepper, this dish is comforting, flavorful, and elegantly simple.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Temper Your Eggs 🥚Slowly whisk hot pasta water into egg yolks to gently raise their temperature and prevent scrambling, ensuring a silky smooth sauce.
- Guanciale Crisp Technique 🥓Start guanciale in a cold pan and render slowly to maximize fat extraction and achieve a perfectly crisp texture without burning.
- Reserve Pasta Water Wisely 💧Save at least 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining, which is crucial for adjusting sauce consistency and creating emulsification.
- Cheese Grating Hack 🧀Grate Pecorino and Parmesan fresh and at room temperature to ensure smoother melting and more even sauce distribution.
- Off-Heat Magic 🔥Remove pasta from heat before adding egg mixture to prevent scrambling, using residual pan heat to gently cook and create a creamy sauce.
