Cook the Pancetta/Guanciale

Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the cooked pancetta. Toss to combine over low heat. Pour in the egg and cheese mixture, quickly tossing to coat the spaghetti. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until desired creaminess is achieved.

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Grill the Salmon

While the salmon is grilling, add the asparagus to the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

Take a small amount of the rice mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella in the center and fold the rice around it to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the formed balls on a baking sheet.

Form the Balls

Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and breadcrumbs in a third. Roll each rice ball in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
