Amatriciana is a traditional Italian pasta sauce originating from the town of Amatrice in the Lazio region. The sauce is primarily made with guanciale (cured pork cheek), tomatoes, and pecorino cheese. It is typically served with pasta, most commonly bucatini, which is a thick spaghetti-like noodle with a hole running through the center. The dish is known for its rich, savory flavor, combining the saltiness of the guanciale with the acidity of the tomatoes. Amatriciana is often enjoyed as a staple in Roman cuisine and has gained popularity worldwide, celebrated for its simplicity and delicious taste.
