Ingredients

Techniques
- guanciale
Put the guanciale into the wok on medium-low heat with no oil and let the fat render into oil; it is crispy in under 3 minutes.
- 200 g spaghetti
- 2 whole egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- pepper
While the spaghetti cooks, whisk two egg yolks and one whole egg into a thick cream with a generous amount of pepper.
- pasta water
Back on medium heat, add the pasta with a touch of pasta water and toss in the guanciale oil, adding more pasta water so it does not burn.
Pasta water so the eggs stay safe
Add enough pasta water to leave a little creamy water in the bottom so the eggs will not scramble; let the wok absorb a little.
- pecorino
Add more pecorino and toss as much as you can until creamy; mix in some guanciale.
