How to make Amatriciana with Roscioli Kit? - Rimessa Roscioli

guanciale

🥗Healthier: pancetta

💰Cheaper: bacon

Pancetta offers a similar flavor profile, while bacon is more accessible.

Pecorino Romano cheese

🥗Healthier: Parmesan cheese

💰Cheaper: Grana Padano

Parmesan provides a lower-fat option, while Grana Padano is often less expensive.

Cut the guanciale into strips, ensuring not to cut them too small.

Heat a good pan until it's quite hot.

Fry the guanciale in its own fat without adding cream or oil until it's crunchy and slightly chewy.

Prepare the base for the tomato sauce using shallots instead of onions.

Balance the amount of guanciale and tomato sauce; too much tomato will make it a tomato sauce pasta with a bit of guanciale, while too little will make it too dry.

Use half a kilo of pasta and adjust the guanciale amount accordingly.

Cook the tomato sauce for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the type of tomato used.
