    Alright im a Chef so I usually just make stuff without paying too much attention to how much i use of what but

    this is 150g Mezzi Rigatoni
    2 Egg yolks
    like 70 g Guanciale
    Idk a hand full of pecorino i just eye ball it really
    salt and pepper
    and pasta water

    i removed the pellicle from the guanciale and added that to the pasta water

    boiled the rigatoni until al dente while my guanci was frying up crispy

    in the meantime i seperated 2 eggs mixed the egg yolk with the pecorino and then tempered the egss using some of the guanciale oil and some pasta water

    when the pasta was done i set aside some pasta water

    took out half the guanciale and deglaced the pot with the pasta water
    i added back the pasta and mixed around a bit before adding my egg mixture in

    i mixed in the egg and cheese and on low heat let everything come together

    i cut the other half of the guanciale into fine pieces almost like a powder and saved it for garnish

    plated it up when the sauce was nice and thick and added back the guanciale and some fresh peoper to top it off

  3. If you go to pasta jail I’ll be your bunkmate this looks great.

    /seriously: the older I get the more I realise Rigatoni seems to be the best in most cases

  4. Personally love longer noodles for carb, but your sauce is perfect.

    Mezze rig is my fav for amatriciana or gricia.

    Don’t hate me but I always prefer mezze rigatoni over regular rigatoni! It’s just perfect in my opinion.
