Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil 2L water with salt, cook spaghetti 1 minute less than package time, and reserve 200ml pasta water.

  2. 2

    Mix egg yolks, parmigiano, pecorino, and pepper in a bowl to make the cheese-egg base.

  3. 3

    Crisp pancetta over medium-low heat, then add cheongyang chili and garlic for 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add pasta and 80ml pasta water, tossing for 1 minute so starch emulsifies with the fat.

  5. 5

    Turn off heat, let the pan cool slightly, then add the egg base and toss quickly until creamy.

  6. 6

    Adjust consistency with more pasta water, plate, and finish with extra black pepper.

Tips

Keep heat off when adding the egg sauce to avoid scrambled eggs.
Finely grate cheeses in advance for a smoother sauce.
