When eating in Rome, you can hardly avoid spaghetti all'amatriciana. Strictly speaking, however, this classic dish doesn't actually come from the capital, but from the small mountain village of Amatrice, where it started out even simpler. Shepherds would pack the seasoned, air-dried pork cheek known as guanciale and a good pecorino when they were away for longer periods. That's all that was required for a hearty, filling pasta dish known as pasta alla gricia. It was only later that tomatoes were added, giving the sauce its unmistakable fruity depth. Today, amatriciana has become an indispensable part of Roman cuisine – hearty, fuss-free and simply buonissima!

Sauce

Gently fry the guanciale in a wide, non-stick frying pan until crispy. Remove the guanciale, set aside. Leave approx. 3 tbsp of the cooking oil in the pan, pour away the rest. Crush the tomatoes between your fingers, add them to the same pan and simmer for approx. 15 mins. Season the sauce.

Spaghetti

Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until just al dente. Set aside approx. 100 ml of the cooking water, drain the spaghetti. Add the spaghetti to the sauce along with the reserved cooking water, cook until al dente while stirring. Mix in the reserved guanciale and pecorino just before serving.

Good to know
Note: You can find guanciale in larger Coop stores or at coop.ch.
Tip: If you want to give the dish a little bit of a kick, you can add a dried chilli pepper to the sauce as it simmers.
