1
Prepare the Guanciale
In a large skillet, cook the guanciale over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
2
Cook the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3
Make the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, and a generous amount of black pepper.
4
Combine Everything
In the skillet with the guanciale, add the cooked gnocchi and toss to combine. Remove from heat and pour the egg and cream mixture over the gnocchi, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to reach desired consistency.
5
Serve
Season with salt and additional black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
