Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente; drain and set aside.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; add diced guanciale and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

Stir in the cooked pasta, guanciale mixture, and chopped parsley into the egg mixture.

Roll out pie crust and cut into small rounds; fit into a greased muffin tin.

Spoon the carbonara mixture into each crust, filling them about three-quarters full.

Sprinkle additional cheese on top of each quiche if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and set.

Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin.

Garnish with extra parsley and serve warm.
