That looks delicious.

Can’t wait for the carbonara police to show up here shouting about guanciale.

I think it's more that the sauce looks a bit thin. Maybe it's just me.

Also I kind of want to make the American version, my gf says it's always too salty with pancetta, heard guanciale is even more salty.

The cheese is what's really salty. Guanciale, not so much, considering the ammount you use.

I tried the pancetta and I could tell it was quite salty, could be just how it is locally. I tried subbing more parmesan instead of peccorino, but it was still kinda salty, although more tolerable. Maybe I'll find a better Italian deli in town to get some better ingredients or something, otherwise I thinks it's just too salty to cook often

And don't use any salt in the pasta, obviously!

So pointing out that the title is incorrect is something that shouldn't be done or a quirky reddit standard?

No egg-white at all?

Pecorino cheese is where it is at!

Next time really be traditional and use guanciale.

Traditional calls for eggs, cheese, pancetta and black pepper.

Guanciale if you’re really talking traditional.

Looks awesome! Even though some will scream about using pancetta I wouldn't care. Sauce looks creamy as well.
