Directions
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
Prepare the Guanciale
While the pasta is cooking, cut the guanciale (or pancetta) into small strips. In a large skillet, cook the guanciale over medium heat until it becomes crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine Pasta and Guanciale
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a cup of the pasta water and drain the rest. Quickly add the hot pasta to the skillet with the guanciale, tossing to combine.
Serve
Serve immediately with extra Pecorino Romano cheese and freshly cracked black pepper on top.
