Makes: 2 portions
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Things you need:
Carbonara
150g Spaghetti pasta
2 Egg Yolks
10g Grated aged parmesan
15g Grated pecorino
1-2g Freshly ground black pepper
100g Guanciale diced
Steps
Trim the rind off the guanciale and take off a little fat as per video. Then dice the pork and render this out on a low heat. Once crispy as per video, drain and reserve the fat. Set aside.
Meanwhile put your spaghetti onto cook as per the packet instructions.
Whisk your egg yolks and cheeses together. Grind in a good crack of pepper. Add your guanciale fat and mix to make a paste.
Once the pasta is cooked drain and reserve a couple of cups of pasta water.
Add the hot pasta to the egg mixture. Toss to coat the pasta and this will also cook the egg yolks. Add the cooked guanciale and keep mixing through. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve in warmed plates. Crack over some more pepper and add a little grating of parmesan if you wish. Enjoy.
