Carbonara Tortelli with Black Pepper and Crispy Guanciale Petals
Ingredients
preparation
Coarsely grind the black peppercorns and toast them in a dry pan for a few minutes until they release their full aroma. Deglaze with a glass of water and let it simmer briefly to create a fragrant pepper broth.
In another pan, cook the guanciale petals over medium heat without adding any fat until crispy. Remove them and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
Add the pepper broth to the guanciale fat, stir well and bring back to a boil.
Add the Carbonara Tortelli and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring gently from time to time, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
Plate the tortelli and finish with a sprinkling of Parmigiano Reggiano and the crispy guanciale petals. Serve immediately.
