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.

Cook bucatini pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add guanciale to the skillet and sauté until crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add chopped tomatoes to the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

Combine the cooked bucatini with the sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat evenly.

Remove from heat and stir in grated Pecorino Romano cheese until melted and creamy.

Season with black pepper to taste before serving.
