My zio told me it’s half pecorino and half parmigiana. But like many things, it can vary slightly from town to town. But a little pasta water to the mix was definitely a noticeable change, especially when I made the pasta from scratch.

Add some pasta water to the yolk/cheese mixture before you add it to the pasta.

He posted the recipe in a comment and the only dairy mentioned is the cheese. Seems he did the usual mixing of the cheeses and yolks with some of the fat from the guanciale and pasta water. That’s how I make it, too.
