Instructions

Step 1

Add salt to a pot of water, and bring to a rolling boil.

Step 2

Add Linguine, and cook for 10 minutes, until al dente.

Step 3

While Linguine is cooking, whisk egg yolks, egg, cheeses, butter, and pepper. Set aside.

Step 4

Add diced Guanciale to a cold pan, and place over low heat. You want to render as much fat.

Step 5

After Guanciale is fully cooked and crispy, remove from heat, and add drippings to the egg/cheese mixture. Stir well.

Step 6

Add 2 to 3 ladles of boiling pasta water to temp the egg/cheese mixture, making a rich & creamy sauce. Stir well, to not make scrambled egg. Add more water to reach desired consistency.

Step 7

Stir sauce into pasta, incorporate and emulsify well. Mix in the diced Guanciale. Serve.
