Spaghetti alla Carbonara
Roman pasta at its most uncompromising. Eggs, guanciale, pecorino, pepper. That is the dish. No cream, no peas, no chicken, no shortcuts.

:CHECKLIST
Spaghetti, the right brand matters less than the cook
[ ] Guanciale, never pancetta, never bacon
[ ] Pecorino romano, never parmigiano
[ ] Eggs, yolks only for the silkiest sauce
[ ] Black pepper, cracked coarse from the mill

:NOTE
The single biggest failure mode is scrambled eggs. Pull the pan off the heat before adding the egg and cheese mixture, and toss continuously. The residual heat cooks the sauce to a velvet. If you see curds, the pan was too hot.
