When I was first getting into Roman pastas - carbonara, gricia, amatriciana - I figured that guanciale would probably be a little better than pancetta or bacon. Maybe it would be worth the extra cost and the trouble of finding it, maybe not. I was wrong. Guanciale is WAY better than bacon or even pancetta. Like, three or four times as good. If you can get your hands on it, do it. There's really no substitute for guanciale.

Depending on where you live, that wouldn’t even be that expensive. The really expensive things in there were the old Parmesan and the wine. If you live in Europe you can get guincale in most major cities or just order it online from an Italian specialty online shop (which you should be able to find in most countries). Same goes for the pecorino cheese. I can see The Guiancale being harder to get and more expensive in the states, but you could easily substitute pancetta, which you also don’t get everywhere but should be a bit easier to find. And if you live in Italy, the “expensive” version probably costs you ten euros to make.

When you have left over pasta, especially different types, we cook and mix all of the pasta in a bowl, add scamorza (which is similar to mozzarella), Parmesan cheese, eggs, and either ham or salami. Then we cooked in a pan on both sides. Frank’s recipe is a fancy version of it!
