2 oz guanciale, sliced into lardons (matchsticks)
3 egg yolks
2 oz parmesan cheese, grated

Method

Step 1

Add guanciale to a large pan on low-medium heat, cook until golden brown. Remove excess fat from the pan.

Step 2

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add Barilla Fettucine pasta and cook until nearly al dente. Once the pasta is cooked, strain the pasta and reserve a 1/4 cup of pasta water.

Step 3

Add strained Barilla Fettuccine pasta to the pan once the guanciale is perfectly golden brown.

Step 4

Turn the heat off and add the cheeses, and some of the pasta water 1-2 tbsp at a time. Then add 1 tsp guanciale fat.

Step 5

Toss gently, while adding chili flakes and seasoning with salt.

Step 6

Add egg yolks when the pan cools down a little bit to avoid overcooking eggs.

Step 7

Keep tossing to build a nice consistency to the sauce. Plate and garnish with parsley.
