Critical Success Points

  • Brown the guanciale until crispy without burning.
  • Mix the warm pasta with the egg mixture quickly to avoid coagulation.
  • Slow, covered cooking of the frittata so the cheese melts without burning the bottom.
  • Flip the frittata without breaking it.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle knives carefully to avoid cuts.
  • Guanciale renders a lot of hot fat; watch out for splatters.
  • Raw eggs may pose a salmonella risk; consume the frittata immediately after cooking.
