Amatriciana

Amatriciana is a traditional Italian pasta sauce originating from the town of Amatrice, in the Lazio region. The sauce typically features guanciale (cured pork cheek), tomatoes, pecorino cheese, and sometimes a hint of red pepper flakes for spice. It is usually served with spaghetti or another type of pasta. The key ingredients create a rich, savory flavor that showcases the balance between the salty meat and the acidity of the tomatoes. Amatriciana is a classic dish that reflects the simplicity and quality of Italian cuisine.
