Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the radiatore pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Guanciale

    While the pasta is cooking, dice the guanciale into small pieces. In a large skillet, cook the guanciale over medium heat until crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Cream and Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Everything

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the guanciale. Pour the cream and egg mixture over the pasta and quickly toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve a creamy consistency.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Divide the pasta among serving plates, and shake or toss at the table for extra creaminess. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan, fresh parsley, and more black pepper to taste.
