Spaghetti all'Amatriciana image

Spaghetti all'amatriciana is a true Italian classic. The traditional recipe calls for guanciale, a sort of bacon that comes from the fat around the pig's cheek. In a pinch, you can replace it with smoked pancetta or bacon.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
ΒΌ cup extra-virgin olive oil
7 ounces guanciale (cured pork cheek), cut into strips

This Matriciana was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still a good recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of guanciale, but this recipe was still really good. I used pancetta instead and it turned out great.

Not a fan of this Matriciana. The sauce was too thin and the guanciale was too chewy. I think I'll stick to my usual carbonara recipe.

This was my first time making Matriciana and it turned out great! The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I especially liked the tip about using a wooden spoon to stir the sauce.

I've made this Matriciana recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The guanciale is essential for the best flavor, but pancetta or bacon can be used in a pinch.

This Matriciana was a hit with my family! The guanciale added a rich, smoky flavor that really elevated the dish. I also loved the addition of the tomatoes and pecorino cheese. It was the perfect balance of flavors.
