Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks with 2/3 of the grated Pecorino cheese and a dash of pepper to taste.

Cook spaghetti "al dente" in boiling salted water and drain them. Don’t forget to set aside a little bit of cooking water.

Step 5

Combine the pasta al dente with the guanciale in the skillet and mix.

Step 6

Turn off the heat then add the egg mixture alongside the cooking water. Stir for as little as 30 seconds.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 grated Pecorino cheese on top. Serve to your guests this delicious traditional Italian carbonara!
