Ingredients

  1. 4 1/2 ounces guanciale, chopped (or pancetta or bacon)
  2. Kosher salt
  3. One 1-pound box bucatini
  4. 4 ounces mascarpone
  5. 2/3 cup grated pecorino, plus more for serving

  8. 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat a small pan over low heat and add the guanciale. Cook until the fat is rendered. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the bucatini according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water then drain the pasta.

  5. Place the pasta in 4 serving bowls, sprinkle with the guanciale and put an egg on top of each. Sprinkle with more pecorino if desired.
