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!

This recipe was a disaster. The sauce curdled and the pasta was overcooked.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my carbonara turned out bland.

This was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my carbonara turned out dry and clumpy. The sauce didn't emulsify properly, and the pasta was overcooked.

The sauce was a little too salty for my taste, but otherwise this was a great recipe. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the guanciale added a nice smoky flavor.

This carbonara was a hit! The guanciale added a wonderfully smoky flavor, and the creamy sauce was perfectly rich. I served it with a side of roasted broccoli, and it was a fantastic meal.
