Guanciale (Pork Jowl)

My carbonara was wonderful because of the high quality of the guanciale. I cooked for my roommate and myself. He especially like it. It’s hard to get quality specialty meat where I’m living in a small suburban area, where there is a dearth of cultural and ethnic diversity, so it’s nice to find a way to access what I need. It reminded me of of the carbonara I had when I was in Rome many years ago. I really missed and wanted to recreate a little bit of the experience.

Oh so yummy and great service as always!
