    Remove the skin of the guanciale and roughly chop it to about half centimeter chunks. Put the cold pan on the stove and turn it on to a medium-high heat. Add the guanciale. Give the garlic a crack with your hand and put it in the pan. As soon as the fat is coming out of the guanciale and it starts to get golden-brown, you can add the pepper.
