📝 Preparation Steps
1
Divide the cheese into 3 piles. A large pile, a medium size pile, and a small size pile. The sizes of each do not need to be perfect. Set aside.
2
Add the sliced guanciale to a medium size saucepan over low to medium heat and cook until browned and slightly crispy. Move it around using a spoon or spatula to ensure it does not burn.

Next, add a ½ cup, or 4 ounces, of hot pasta water to the pan with the guanciale to help stop the cooking process a bit. Turn the heat off.

Pour in the large pile of cheese and mix using a rubber spatula or spoon until it is combined and emulsified. Set aside.
5
Boil the pasta according to its package and then add it in potions to the pan with the guanciale cheese sauce so to not overload it with too much pasta water.
