  5. 5Once pasta is cooked, reserve some pasta water and drain the rest.
  6. 6Add hot pasta to the skillet with guanciale, tossing to combine.
  7. 7Remove skillet from heat and quickly pour egg mixture over pasta, stirring vigorously.
  8. 8If needed, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a creamy sauce.
  9. 9Season with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  10. 10Serve immediately with additional cheese on top.
