Basically a carbonara with extra steps - fry your guanciale cubes, set aside. Reserve the fat from the guanciale. Then, fry the meat from a fennel salsiccia, add a bit of passata. Mix cooled down guanciale fat with pecorino and egg yolks in a bain marie to create a creamy sauce. Precook pasta for half the time it takes to fully cook it. Add pasta and a little pasta water to pan, finish cooking pasta until all dente. Combine with sauce, fried guanciale and serve with parmeggiano cheese and fresh black pepper.

    Nah, you can absolutely use any type of salsiccia you like. I happen to love fennel seeds in the resulting dish so I use that type.
