    Crisp the diced guanciale in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until golden and crispy. Remove guanciale, reserving fat.

    In a small pan, brown the butter until foaming and fragrant with hazelnut notes.

    bucatini in lightly salted water until al dente. Transfer directly into the skillet with guanciale fat and browned butter.

    Remove skillet completely from heat. Pour in yolk-miso mixture while tossing rapidly with tongs, adding starchy cooking water spoonful by spoonful until a velvety, glossy cream forms.

  6. 6

    Fold in crisp guanciale, season with abundant black pepper, and serve immediately dusted with furikake.
