Description

This simple but incredibly tasty pasta dish is a true classic of Roman cuisine. The Bucatini alla Gricia impress with their creaminess and the intense flavor of Guanciale and Pecorino Romano. I especially like to make them when I need something quick, but still want something special on the table. The preparation is straightforward and succeeds with the Thermomix® in no time at all. Perfect for a cozy evening with friends or family! A touch of freshly ground pepper rounds off the dish. Buon appetito!

Ingredients (6 ingredients)

320 g bucatini
250 g guanciale
60 g grated pecorino romano
to taste pepper
10 g salt
1 l water

Preparation (8 steps)

Prepare guanciale

Cut 250 g of guanciale into slices about 0.5 cm thick and then cut them into strips. Set the strips aside.

Fry guanciale

Place the guanciale strips in a pan and fry over medium heat until the fat is released and the guanciale becomes crispy. This takes about 8-10 minutes. Remove the fried guanciale from the pan and set aside. Leave the rendered fat in the pan.
