Potato Spaghetti

Ingredients

  • 3 Potato
  • 2.3 oz Parmesan Cheese
  • 3.7 oz guanciale a cubetti
  • 3 Egg yolk
  • Salt
  • black pepper

Equipment

  • Peeler
  • spatula
  • Non Stick Pan
  • bowl

Instructions

  1. 1

    First, peel the potatoes, wash them well, and make spaghetti with the special tool.

  2. 2

    Once ready, let the spaghetti soak in cold water for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cut the guanciale into strips and then into cubes, and then cook it over low heat in a non-stick pan, stirring occasionally, until it becomes crispy.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the Pecorino cheese until you get a thick and smooth cream.

  5. 5

    Bring slightly salted water to a boil (without letting it boil), add the spaghetti and drain after 5-6 minutes. Season the hot spaghetti with the egg mixture, mixing quickly, then add the guanciale.

  6. 6

    The potato spaghetti is ready; all that's left to do is add a little pepper and serve.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust the salt according to the salt content of the canned goods.

Enjoy your meal! The result will be a perfect balance between the creaminess of the egg yolks and the sweetness of the potatoes, a dish that embodies the simplicity and mastery of Italian cooking. It's a creative twist on tradition with delightful flavors.
