→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 tsp olive oil
02 - 40g (1.5 oz) grated pecorino cheese
03 - 500g (17.5 oz) gnocchi
04 - Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, as needed
05 - 130g (4.5 oz) diced guanciale or pancetta
06 - 3 medium-sized egg yolks
07 - 1 garlic clove, smashed

# Instructions:

01 - Cook gnocchi in salted boiling water and grab some of the cooking water before draining once they float.
02 - Combine egg yolks with grated pecorino, pour in a little pasta water (1-2 tbsp), and season with black pepper.
03 - Warm olive oil with a crushed garlic clove until it smells amazing. Get rid of the garlic after.
04 - In the pan, cook the pancetta until crunchy (around 4-5 minutes). Toss in the gnocchi and stir while letting it brown a little.
05 - With the heat off, let the pan cool just a bit. Stir in the egg mixture until gnocchi is coated, adding cooking water if it’s too thick.

# Notes:

01 - Fast comfort dish, ready in 15 minutes
02 - Swap in premade gnocchi for ease
03 - Cool pan before mixing in eggs to avoid scrambling
