Instructions
- Chop the guanciale into small cubes then add to a cold pan set over medium heat.
- Allow the fat to render and the meat to become crisp for 10 minutes or until golden brown then remove from the pan.
- Squeeze the sausage meat from the casings and brown in the guanciale fat until golden brown.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Remove the fat from the pan, leaving only 2 tablespoons behind.
- Add the diced onions and garlic and allow to cook for a few minutes until aromatic.
- Add the guanciale and browned sausage back to the pan with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Pour in the tomatoes and half cup of water then season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring regularly.
- The sauce will reduce but should remain "saucy". If the liquid evaporates too fast, add another half cup of water.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta until al dente.
- Reserve 1 cup of cooking water then drain the pasta.
- Whisk the eggs in a heat-proof bowl then whisk in a few tablespoons of the hot pasta water to temper the eggs (this prevents them from scrambling once added to the simmering sauce.)
- Toss the pasta with the Zozzona sauce and add the tempered eggs and a generous amount of grated cheese.
- Toss over low heat until the sauce is creamy and pasta is fully coated.
- Serve with plenty of extra Parmesan grated over the top.
