🇮🇹 Italy recipe

Pasta all'Amatriciana

Originally from the town of Amatrice in the mountains of Lazio, this robust sauce of guanciale, San Marzano tomatoes, Pecorino Romano, and a touch of chili is one of Rome's great pasta triumvirate alongside carbonara and cacio e pepe. The guanciale is rendered until glassy and crisp, then married with a bright, savory tomato sauce.
