How to Make Your Authentic Amatriciana

Step 1 – Prepare the guanciale

Cut the guanciale into strips and cook slowly in a pan over medium-low heat. Let the fat render naturally until the guanciale becomes golden and crispy. No additional oil is needed.

Step 2 – Create the tomato sauce

Remove some of the crispy guanciale and set it aside. Add the peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand, to the pan with the rendered fat. Add a little passata if you prefer a smoother sauce. Simmer gently for approximately 15–20 minutes.

Step 3 – Cook the pasta

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a little salt and cook the Mezze Maniche until al dente, reserving some pasta cooking water before draining.

Step 4 – Bring everything together

Transfer the pasta to the tomato sauce and toss gently, adding a little reserved cooking water until the pasta is evenly coated.

Step 5 – Finish like an Italian

Turn off the heat. Add freshly grated Pecorino Romano and toss until creamy. Finish with the reserved crispy guanciale and serve immediately.

Buon appetito!
