Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound bucatini
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound guanciale, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
2 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the bucatini and cook, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't stick together.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat a 12-inch skillet over medium high heat and add the 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the guanciale and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. When the guanciale is almost completely crispy, carefully add 1/4 cup of the pasta water and scrape all of the tasty bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Whisk together the egg whites in a medium bowl until they start to get frothy. Add lots of pepper, the parsley, extra-virgin olive oil and Parmesan. Pour over the guanciale in the skillet, stirring vigorously to incorporate but not scrambling the eggs.
  • When the bucatini is al dente, remove it from the water and toss with the sauce until well coated.
  • Divide the pasta into 2 bowls, top each one with an egg yolk and serve immediately, letting your family or guest mix in the yolk at the table for that extra decadence!

I'm not a fan of eggs, so I omitted them from the recipe. The carbonara was still good, but it wasn't as rich and creamy as I would have liked.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The carbonara is so creamy and flavorful, and the guanciale adds a nice salty touch.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of guanciale. It was a great substitute and the carbonara was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of guanciale, so I used bacon instead. It turned out great! The bacon added a smoky flavor that I really enjoyed.

This recipe is a great starting point for a classic carbonara. I like to add a few extra ingredients, like mushrooms and peas, to make it a more hearty meal.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my carbonara turned out watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more salt and pepper.

This recipe is a bit too rich for my taste. I prefer a carbonara with a lighter sauce.

I've tried many carbonara recipes, but this one is by far the best. The egg sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the guanciale adds the perfect amount of saltiness. Highly recommend!
