I saw a picture of this with a caption saying it was a classic Italian spicy pasta dish, so it grabbed my interest. I found that it originated from Amatrice, a town near Rome, known for its rich, flavorful tomato sauce, and bucatini pasta. I had never heard of bucatini pasta which is a tube pasta a little larger than spaghetti.

I make Amatriciana sauce with pancetta, not guanciale. And I add a small red onion, chopped, to the dismay of some purists. But I love the results; so does every guest.#pasta #Italian #dinner #easy #bucatini #spaghetti #bacon #pancetta #tomato #amatriciana #fresh #filling #satisfying #family #guanciale

With just a handful of ingredients, Amatriciana proves that simplicity, when done right, delivers pure magic—every bite a tribute to Italy’s rustic roots and timeless culinary vibes.• Watch the full video on my channel (link in profile)

One of my favorite pasta dishes ever. very simple, and easy authentic Italian. you can try this sauce with spaghetti if that's all you have, but I urge you to go get some bucatini. it's not hard to find, and you'll get the authentic All'Amatriciana experience. Enjoy! :chef boy.r.mee

I just couldn't forget the amazing flavour of the amatriciana that I ate in Italy.I got my husband, who loves these kinds of tomato pasta dishes, to do the tasting for me until I got the recipe right.If you stir-fry the pancetta beforehand, this will tease the oil out of the meat. This small step drastically changes the taste of the dish so please give it a try.Thickly-sliced bacon will taste good, of course, but pancetta will give you a more authentic amatriciana flavor.

This recipe is a bit of a labour of love but well worth it in the end. It gets better after a day in the fridge and freezes well. You can sub almost any kind of fatty pork but I find thick cut bacon to yield the best results. If you're a purest use pork jowl.

The basil was growing rampant so I made some pesto sauce. I wasn’t in the mood to eat it. I recently got a deli slicer at a yard sale and wanted to cut some ham for sandwiches. I got a smoked picnic shoulder but I couldn’t cleanly navigate around the massive bone. I’ll do something else with it instead. I decided to pull the fatty skin off and do a version of this instead.

In Italy its tradition to serve spaghetti with this sauce. But for my personal touch i made it with a little of spice.

Bucatini pasta is a hollow spaghetti, like a fire hose. I hope you give this a try.

I love Pasta...that's it

This is the cheap version of creamy pasta carbonara. I came up with this recipe when I was a college student. A time when mozarella and parmesan are too expensive for a student's budget (^^)
