Step 3

Drain bucatini and reserve cooking water.

Transfer bucatini to the skillet with the guanciale and finish cooking the pasta in the pan juices adding a little pasta water at a time until pasta has the right consistency. Stir in Pecorino Romano cheese and season with black pepper. Serve immediately.
