Spaghetti alla Amatriciana - La ricetta del buon umore

guanciale

🥗Healthier: pancetta

💰Cheaper: bacon

Pancetta is leaner, while bacon is widely available and less expensive.

Pecorino Romano cheese

🥗Healthier: Parmesan cheese

💰Cheaper: Grana Padano

Parmesan offers a similar flavor profile at a lower cost.

Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente.

In a pan, heat the olive oil and add the guanciale, cooking until crispy.

Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.

Stir in the passata di pomodoro and let simmer.

Season with salt and peperoncino to taste.

Combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce and serve with grated pecorino romano.
