Pasta alla Gricia

Begin by placing the guanciale in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 1

While the guanciale cooks, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the pasta, cooking until al dente according to the package instructions.

Step 2

Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss well to coat the pasta in the guanciale fat and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

STEP 3

Remove from heat and stir in the pecorino romano cheese until melted and the pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.
