1
Prepare the Guanciale
In a skillet over medium heat, add the guanciale. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.
2
Sauté the Onions
In the same skillet with the guanciale fat, add the shaved onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3
Add Tomato Sauce
Pour in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Assemble the Dish
Spread the tomato sauce mixture on a serving plate. Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and scatter it over the sauce.
5
Finish with Guanciale and Pecorino
Top with the crispy guanciale and sprinkle with grated pecorino cheese before serving.
