Preparation of bucatini cacio, pepe e guanciale
Cut and strip the guanciale.
Lightly oil a frying pan and fry the bacon pieces. They must become golden and crunchy. Turn off the flame and let it cool.
In the container of a hand blender, add the pecorino cheese, a pinch of pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and set aside.
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water.
Drain it al dente. Keep the cooking water aside. It will be used in the following phases.
Mix the pasta with the guanciale, without turning on the stove.
Add about 100 ml of pasta cooking water into the hand blender container (where you previously added the cheese, pepper and oil) and blend everything together. If the cream is too thick, add more cooking water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Pour the cream obtained on the pasta, mix and serve.
Sprinkle more pepper on each portion and serve immediately.
Your bucatini cacio, pepe e guanciale are ready. All you have to do is taste this delicacy!
