    Just seeing the word makes me violently crave the Amatriciana pizza from Young Joni

    I know that in Italy garlic doesn’t go in amatriciana but I vastly prefer it with garlic or garlic and shallots. It’s also good with a ball of burrata on the side but that’s a bit excessive.

    I’ve played around with the size of the guanciale. When it’s too thin, it burns easily which doesn’t make for great amatriciana. Big chunks render/brown without burning.

    When im cooking the guanciale, I’ll usually put it in an unoiled pan on low heat to render fat out of the guanciale. 5-10mins.

    Use that fat to brown the 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and then garlic/shallots. 5mins. Then 2-3 teaspoons tomato paste. Then deglaze with white wine.

    If the tomato’s are soft, hand crush. If they’re tough, immersion blender. Add tomatos. Simmer 20-30mins while boiling water.

    Throw the macaroni in afterwards, crank the heat up and stir/toss it in the sauce for 1-3mins. Off heat, add pecorino. Not Roman style but recognizable and tastes good to me.
