    Amatriciana is a delightful blend of sweet and savory, with a kick of spice from the red pepper, making it one of my all-time favorite Roman pasta dishes.
    Ingredients:
    * Pasta: 180g (6,5 oz)
    * Pecorino: 35g (about 1/3 cup)
    * Pelati (peeled tomatoes): 200g (7 oz)
    * Chili flakes: to taste

    Here are some tips to perfect your Amatriciana:
    * Start with quality Pecorino Romano and Guanciale.
    * Let the melted guanciale fat create the perfect foundation for a flavorful sauce.
    * In this recipe, I’m using bucatini, but spaghetti would work just as well with this rich and savory sauce.
    * No need for oil; the guanciale fat provides all the flavor necessary.
    * While some Italians add onion (especially red), I’m sticking to the classic version for this recipe.
    * Ensure a well-balanced flavor by adding pepper and aromatics while cooking the sauce.
    Buon appetito! 🇮🇹
