La VERA Amatriciana Perfetta | Ricetta originale romana

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 guanciale in a pan until crispy.

Add the passata di pomodoro to the pan and cook until well combined.

Cook the mezze maniche in salted water until al dente, then drain.

Combine the pasta with the sauce and guanciale, mixing well.

Finish with grated Pecorino romano and freshly ground pepper.
