Per person
200 gram per person Spaghetti (dried without eggs)
2 eggs
40 grams of pecorino cheese ( its like parmesan but it has more of a "nutty" flavour)
1 clove of garlic
100-150 grams Bacon<Pancetta<Guanciale 1 of these preferring guanciale as it has a more black pebery taste and is way thicker and has some more fat so you dont need to use butter or oil.
Lots of black peber
a little parsley for presentation
Spaghetti
1. Turn on water to boil, add lots of salt. more than you would normally, explaining comes later
2. Spaghetti gets into the boiling water, till its "al dente" you can see a little white when u bite it over. This is the most important part.
The Sauce
1. Guanciale gets chopped into 1-1-1 cm and put it on a hot pan.
2. Eggs gets cracked into a bowl and mixed together.
3. Add the cheese till the eggs and cheese gets a liquid but firm consistency.
4. Add some peber, just a little bit for the taste sake.
5. When the Guanciale is brown and delicious turn down for the heat to the lowest or even turn it off
6. Put the egg and cheese sauce into the pan and start stiring, its important the eggs dont get to be "scrambled eggs" so make sure the pan is cool enough for that.
7. when the sauce is mixed. Put the spaghetti in and stir even more till the sauce blankets it all.
8. Add some of the salted water from the spaghetti to get the consistency you'd like.
9. At the end put some parsley on top.
Sorry for the long recipe lol xD this should be possible for all to do xD
Whats a guanciale?
"Guanciale is an Italian cured meat product prepared from pork jowl or cheeks."
Dont they cure the meat in butter for like 2 weeks or something?
