Amatriciana is a traditional savory pasta sauce originating from the town of Amatrice, in the Lazio region. It is made of guanciale pork meat, San Marzano tomatoes, dried chilies, topped with pecorino Amatrice cheese and black pepper.
Amatriciana is commonly eaten as a first dish with bucatini pasta, but it also goes perfectly with spaghetti and rigatoni pasta shapes.
