      and by the way I make my Carbonara exactly the same way, perfect carbonara is all in the technique it is so important to take some of the guanciale renderings and stir them into the yoke cheese mixture. one thing I have just started doing when cooking pasta is, I am using less water to boil the pasta in order to increase the starch content of the pasta water for finishing sauces. when stirring it in the sauces become richer and more glistening, simply gorgeous............ just like you.......
