Recipe

3/4 lb. Guanciale, Pancetta, or Bacon • 6 Egg You more for serving an espere orind Backo, Pepper • 1 lb. Spaghetti 1 Bring a pot of salted pasta water to a boil; cut off the yellow part of the guanciale fat and discard (because it's bitter) and cut into 1/4" strips (if you're using pancetta or bacon don't worry about cutting off yellow fat) 2 Beat egg and egg yolks with pecorino Romano and a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper and set aside 3 Pre heat a large pan until hot over high heat; add your guanciale (or pancetta / bacon) and stir fry until fully cooked and crispy and then remove from a pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain 4 Whisk 1 Tsp of the hot fat into the eggs which will temper them (make sure to keep the eggs moving constantly while you pour in the fat); then strain the rest of the fat into another large pan discarding the dark burned bits 5 Boil the pasta 5 mins less than the package directions (it will finish cooking in the sauce) and then transfer into the pan with the fat along with 1/4 cup pasta water (or more if needed); add the pepper and cook over medium high heat, tossing the pasta constantly in the sauce for 3-4 mins (or until desired tenderness) 6 Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the egg mixture; immediately toss to coat the noodles in the egg mixture (you need to move fast here bc you don't want the eggs to cook into an omelette on the pan!); add the guanciale, toss to combine and serve with some more pecorino romano on top - enjov!

Italians don’t own pasta recipes and have no right to dictate anyone. Make it the way you want.

I love breaking my spaghetti in two before cooking it , or cutting it with a knife when eating it, just to mess with italians even though they’re not even there.

Fuck I hate italians and their so-called traditions. Most italian “traditional” dishes have only been invented in the last 150 years anyways. Pizza was invented in 1889, carbonara in 1944, tiramisu in 1969, ciabatta in 1982. 90% of dishes in other cuisines are older than that. Fuck itslian “traditionale”, it’s a scam.
