EASY PASTA ALLA GRICIA recipe: The most UNDERRATED Roman Pasta Dish #pasta #pastarecipe

guanciale

🥗Healthier: pancetta

💰Cheaper: bacon

Pancetta and bacon are more accessible alternatives that still provide a rich flavor.

Pecorino Romano cheese

🥗Healthier: Parmesan cheese

💰Cheaper: Grana Padano

Parmesan and Grana Padano are milder and more widely available.

Toast black pepper on the stovetop and then grind it down.

Cook the fresh pasta until al dente.

Use some of the pasta water to make a paste with the Pecorino cheese, mixing until smooth.

In a separate pan, add the already cooked guanciale, pasta, and toasted black pepper.

Mix everything together well.

Add the Pecorino paste to the pan and mix quickly over low heat until everything is fully covered.
