Spaghetti Alla Carbonara

Fill your largest pot with water and bring it to a boil. Please don’t skip the salt. Your pasta water should genuinely taste like the ocean. I know it sounds like a lot but trust me completely on this one.. Drop your spaghetti in and cook it one minute less than your package says, it’s going to keep cooking in the pan so don’t worry! While your pasta does its thing, throw your diced guanciale or bacon into a cold pan and slowly bring the heat up to medium. This renders the fat out beautifully and gets it perfectly crispy in about 5 minutes..
