    Method

    1. 1

      Cook the guanciale slowly in a dry pan until crisp and the fat has rendered. Lift out the meat.

    2. 2

      Add the stock to the pan, bring to a simmer and take off the heat. Let it cool for 2 minutes.

    3. 3

      Whisk 3 yolks with the Pecorino and pepper, then whisk in the warm stock a little at a time. Return to very low heat and stir until slightly thickened, without letting it boil. Stir in the guanciale.

    4. 4

      Boil the noodles according to the package, drain, and toss with the chicken fat.

    5. 5

      Pile the noodles in bowls and cover completely with Parmesan.

    6. 6

      Pour the sauce into small dipping bowls, top each with a raw yolk, scallions and more pepper. Stir the yolk in at the table and dip, or pour over the noodles.
