PREPARATION
Bring a big pot of salty water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 12 min.
In a salad bowl, mix 4 egg yolks and a whole egg. Add salt and lots of pepper. Whip for at least 3 min. Slice the guanciale or the pancetta in 16 very thin slices.
Drain the pasta and set aside the cooking water. Place in a pan on low flame, heat for a few moments. Add the whipped eggs and remove from the flame.
Mix well and eventually place back on the burner for a few moments while stirring. The pasta must be creamy and homogenous. If needed, add a little cooking water to the pasta.
With a pincher or a big fork, create a pasta nest in a small bowl or a cup. Place this nest in a hollow plate. At the center, add an egg yolk.
Aslo add the guanciale and the grated grana padano. Pepper generously and serve.
