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.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add guanciale; cook and stir until sizzling, about 5 minutes. Add onion and chile pepper; cook and stir until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; simmer until tomatoes break down into a sauce, about 20 minutes.
- Stir spaghetti into the tomato sauce until well combined. Sprinkle generous amounts of pecorino Romano cheese over each serving.

[email protected]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.

[email protected]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.

[email protected]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.
