- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2-3 tbsp reserved pasta water
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Fry the guanciale in a large skillet or frying pan until golden and crispy. Once crispy, turn off the heat and add the gnocchi to the boiling water.
- Meanwhile mix the egg yolks, pecorino cheese, and black pepper in a small bowl. It should be a thick paste consistency.
- Add a splash of reserved pasta water to the egg yolk mixture and mix to loosen and emulsify it.
- Once the gnocchi are floating on top of the water remove them with a slotted spoon and add to the skillet with the guanciale. Toss to coat in the fat.
