Cacio e Pepe with Crispy Pancetta

  1. Fill a large pasta pot with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the salt and the linguine and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. While the water is coming to a boil, add the diced pancetta to a large, deep saute pan.
  4. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. To the same saute pan, add the cream, butter and 1 tablespoon of the black pepper.
  7. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by a third, about 5 minutes.
  8. Stir in the Parmigiano and the Pecorino until smooth; the sauce will be a little thick.
  9. Keep warm over low heat.
  10. With tongs, remove the linguine from the pot and add it directly to the sauce; toss along with 1 cup of the pasta cooking water to thin the sauce out.
  11. Transfer to a large serving platter and garnish with more Parmigiano and Pecorino, the remaining 1 tablespoon pepper, and the parsley.
  12. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  13. Serve immediately.
