Creamy Guanciale                 Directions

            Pasta                    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
      6 servings                      Meanwhile cut the guanciale into strips 1/4″
                                      wide. Lightly mash the garlic, enough to split
      30 minutes                      the cloves and loosen the skin; discard the
                                      skin. Place the garlic and olive oil in a skillet
   Ingredients                        and turn the heat to medium high. When the
                                      garlic turns a deep gold, about 2 minutes,
   1/2 lb. guanciale or               remove it and discard.
                                    2. Place the strips of guanciale in the pan and
   pancetta, cut in 1/2 ”             cook until the edges begin to crisp, stirring

   slices                             often, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and
                                      let it bubble away for 1-2 minutes, then turn
   4 garlic cloves                    the heat off.
                                    3. Add the spaghetti to the boiling water, and
   3 tbsp olive oil                   cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.
   1/4 cup dry white wine             Drain.
                                    4. Break the eggs into the serving bowl in
   1 1/4 lbs spaghetti                which you’ll be tossing the pasta. Beat them
   2 eggs                             lightly, then add the Romano and
                                      Parmigiano Reggiano, black pepper and
   1/2 oz Romano cheese,              chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly.
                                    5. Add the hot spaghetti to the bowl and toss
   freshly grated                     rapidly, coating the strands well. (The heat
   2 oz Parmigiano                    from the pasta will cook the eggs) Briefly
                                      reheat the pancetta over high heat, and
   Reggiano cheese, freshly           turn the entire contents of the pan into the
   grated                             bowl of spaghetti and toss thoroughly
                                      again. Finish with extra cheese and garnish
   black pepper to taste              with parsley. Serve at once.
   2 tbsp chopped parsley             Notes
