Spaghetti Alla Gricia

1. 1

   Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and add 3 tablespoons kosher salt.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, combine the oil, guanciale, and onion in another large pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the guanciale is lightly browned and the onion is softened, about 7 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in the pepper and remove from the heat.

4. 4

   Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook until just al dente.

5. 5

   Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

6. 6

   Add the pasta and 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to the guanciale and stir and toss over medium heat until the pasta is well coated (add a splash or two more of the reserved pasta water if necessary to loosen the sauce).

7. 7

   Stir in the cheeses and parsley and serve immediately, with additional grated Parmigiano on the side.
