Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh tortellini and cook until they float, about 5-7 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped guanciale or bacon and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Add fresh peas and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- Whisk together the whole egg, egg yolk, and Pecorino Romano cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Add drained tortellini to the frying pan with guanciale and peas. Remove from heat. Pour in the egg and cheese mixture, tossing gently to coat.
- Add reserved pasta water a couple of tablespoons at a time to reach desired creamy texture, ensuring not to return to heat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper.
