Step 1

Place a large pot with water on your stove and wait until the water starts boiling. Add some salt, wait a minute and then ease down the type of pasta you prefer. Cook the pasta as long as the package says, it can take around 10 or 12 minutes.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, take a pan and heat it. Cut the jowl bacon in small slices and ease it down into the pan. It is not necessary to put anything else in the pan, the grease of the jowl bacon is enough to not make it stick to bottom of the pan. Cook it a slow heat until is a little crispy. When the jowl bacon is ready, the pasta should be ready too.

Step 3

Take a bowl and put the egg yolk in it with a bit of salt and pepper and start beating it. Add the grated pecorino, few at the time and keep beating. Continue with this operation until you have a dense cream.

Step 4

Once the pasta is ready, put it into a strainer and the into the bowl with the eggs, add the beacon too and mix it for a minute. It is not necessary to put the pasta on the heat again as long as you are using pasteurized eggs. Serve the pasta adding extra black pepper on top and enjoy.
