Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 2 serving(s)
Ingredients: 1/4 lb (115 g) pancetta, diced (see note); 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil; 1 tsp black peppercorns, crushed in a mortar and pestle; 1/2 lb (225 g) spaghettoni; 4 egg yolks; 3/4 cup (75 g) Parmesan cheese, finely grated; 3/4 cup (75 g) Pecorino cheese, finely grated

Note from Ricardo

Pancetta, which isn’t smoked, adds the right balance of salt and umami to the pasta. Bacon has a smoky flavour that, in combination with the cheeses, can bring an excess of umami to the dish. You can also use guanciale (pork cheek), but it is more difficult to find.
