Carbonara

Ingredients

- 400g Guanciale, diced small
- 300g pecorino cheese, grated
- 1 packet spaghetti
- 1 whole egg
- 3 egg yolks
- Salt for the pasta water

Method

1. Place a large pot of water on to boil with 2 pinches of salt in it.
2. In a large frypan, add the guanciale and place on a med-high heat
3. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente
4. Once the guanciale is golden, remove from the heat and drain the fat from it, keeping both the guanciale and fat
5. In a mixing bowl, add all the eggs and the cheese, then add about 1/2 cup of the hot pasta water and mix
6. Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the pan the guanciale was in and then add 3/4 of the cooked guanciale and the cheese and egg mixture
7. Mix well (note you do not want the heat on under this), feel free to add some more of the hot pasta water if you feel it needs
8. Serve and sprinkle some of the leftover crispy guanciale on the top and some fresh black pepper.
9. Enjoy!
