Spaghetti al guanciale

Spaghetti al guanciale is a simple and easy to prepare Italian dish hailing from Abruzzo. In order to prepare it, the spaghetti are cooked in water, while the guanciale is cooked on lard. It's important to keep the guanciale from drying out by sprinkling it with white wine or vinegar. The pasta is drained and tossed with the guanciale sauce. It's recommended to garnish the dish with grated pecorino on top.
