ingredients

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces thinly sliced unsmoked bacon (Italian, guanciale) or 4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper, plus more to taste
1 ³⁄₄ cups parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 egg
3 egg yolks
kosher salt, to taste
1 lb spaghetti

directions

Heat oil in a 10" skillet over medium heat. Add guanciale and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 6–8 minutes.
Add pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 2 minutes more.
Transfer guanciale mixture to a large bowl and let cool slightly; stir in 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese and egg and yolks and stir to combine; set aside.
Meanwhile, bring a 6-qt pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook until al dente, 8–10 minutes.
Reserve 3⁄4 cup water; drain pasta and transfer it to guanciale mixture.
Toss, adding pasta water a little at a time to make a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper; serve with remaining Parmesan.
