Today we want to describe you one of the symbol, maybe the symbol, of the Roman gastronomy: the Pasta all'Amatriciana. The Pasta alla'Amatriciana is a direct descendant of the pasta alla gricia, which is a dish of spaghetti seasoned with EVO oil, clack pepper, Roman Pecorino and guanciale, born in a village called Grisciano. The adding of tomato to the recipe is attributed to a Roman chef called Franceso Leonardi who cooked the first Amatriciana at the end of the XVII century at the court of the Pope, serving during an important institutional banquet a popular dish in perfect Roman style. The amatriciana, as many other pasta recipes, hasn't a strict and well defined disciplinary, there are different adding even depending on which ingredients you have at home, many variants which anyway maintain 3 fundamental ingredients as base: guanciale, tomato and Roman pecorino. Here you are our recipe Ingredients: 400 g of bucatini, 200 g of guanciale, 300 g of tomato sauce, 75 g of grated Roman pecorino, red chili pepper. Put the basta in boiled salted water looking at the cooking time on the pasta box and mixing it in order not to make it attach to the pot. Meanwhile brown the guanciale cut into small cubes (not too small) in a pan until it will be crispy. Then add the tomato sauce and the sliced red chili pepper and make it cook at low flame until the sauce get the right consistency. When the bucatini will be al dente drain them and amalgamate with the sauce stir frying them together adding the roman pecorino, serve them well hot.
