PASTA ALLA GRICIA

Pasta Alla Gricia image

The star here is guanciale, which is cured jowl. It is increasingly easy to find, but if you don't have it, use pancetta or even bacon. (It won't be authentic, but it will be really good.)

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

8 ounces guanciale (cured pig's jowl), cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper, plus a pinch
3/4 pound tonnarelli or other long pasta like linguine or spaghetti
1/4 cup finely grated pecorino Romano

Steps:

Cook the guanciale in a large skillet over medium heat until deeply golden (adjust the heat as necessary to render the fat without burning the meat). The meaty parts should be browned and the fatty parts should be cooked but still slightly transparent. This will take 15 to 20 minutes. When it's done, add the black pepper and turn off the heat.
Meanwhile, put a pot of salted water on to boil. When the water boils, cook the pasta until it's al dente, nearly but not quite done and still a bit chalky in the middle.
When the guanciale has cooled a bit, and while the pasta is cooking, add 3/4 cup of the pasta cooking water to the pan, turn the heat to high and reduce by about half.
When the pasta is ready, use tongs to transfer it to the pan with the sauce. Stir the pasta as it finishes cooking, adding more pasta cooking water if necessary until the pasta is done and the sauce thick and creamy. Add half the cheese and a pinch of pepper, and stir vigorously to incorporate.
Divide the pasta among four dishes, and dust each with the remaining pecorino.

SHORTCUT GUANCIALE

Shortcut Guanciale image

There is an edge of obsessiveness to carbonara - and I gave in to it completely by starting to make my own guanciale, the cured pig cheek central to most Italian versions of the dish. There's no real need to; it's available online, but I was inspired after eating a wonderful meal at Vetri Ristorante in Philadelphia, and buying a cookbook, "Rustic Italian Food," by its owner, Marc Vetri. He made it sound easy - and it is. It's also satisfying. Guanciale is generally cured for a week, then hung to dry for about three weeks, which is how I usually make it. A fireplace is perfect. But Mr. Vetri has a version that cures for only three days, then is baked. If you order raw cheeks, they need to be trimmed. You want to end up with a neat, flat slab, roughly an inch and a half thick. The key is to cut off the glands, down to the first level of meat, and all excess fat. Here is Mr. Vetri's recipe:

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pork jowl (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons dextrose powder or 1 1/2 teaspoons superfine sugar (I use the latter)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon curing salt No. 1 (available at Amazon.com)
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary

Steps:

Rinse pork jowl and pat dry. Combine other ingredients in a bowl.
Rub the curing mix on the jowl, then place jowl in a gallon Ziploc bag with the cure evenly spread on top and bottom. Refrigerate for 3 days.
Rinse the jowl and dry it. Roast at 275 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Mix all the cure ingredients together and pack the jowl with it. Massage the cure into the meat and fat. Put the jowl into a container (plastic, glass, ceramic, stainless steel) that just barely holds it, and toss in any remaining cure. Cover the container and put in the fridge for 4 to 7 days. Turn the jowl over once a day.
When the meat has stiffened up at the thickest part, usually 5 days or more, rinse off the cure (you can leave a little on, but get most off), and pat the jowl dry. Put on a rack in a drafty place for several hours.
Poke a hole through the skin on a corner of the jowl and tie string to it. Hang the jowl in a cool, moist place (50-55°F and at least 65 percent humidity, but see above for more curing instructions) for at least 3 weeks before eating. To store, cut into large chunks and vacuum seal or cover with plastic wrap and butcher paper before freezing. Guanciale will last, well-wrapped, in the fridge for several months.
