🍝A is for Amatriciana🍝
This dish is over 1000 years old, but the recipe has changed slightly over the years. It was originally made without tomatoes and resembled the modern day “Gricia” sauce. Once tomatoes arrived in Italy around the 1600s, they made their way up from Naples and into this dish forever.

For a truly authentic Amatriciana, you should use guanciale, but it can be expensive or hard to find. To help you out, check out @donato_online_store They are a small business in Northern California, and when I reached out to them for help with this series, they enthusiastically added a promotion for a free gift with every order. Just use the code TRIGGTUBE at checkout and enjoy your free extra gift. They have both smoked (as you see in this video… my favorite) and the more traditional cured.
The red pepper is optional (you can just use black pepper instead for a bit milder version), but I strongly prefer the little hint of spice you get from a fresh pepperoncino.
This whole dish comes together in the time it takes to boil spaghetti, so it’s a perfect weeknight meal.
Recipe per serving: (This is the rough start… feel the recipe with your heart)
35g (1.5 oz) of guanciale
110 g (½ cup) Tomato Puree
1 chili pepper (2g or ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes)
100 g (3oz) of spaghetti
30g (3Tbsp) of grated Pecorino Romano
-Starting in a cold pan, brown the guanciale on low
-Add the tomatoes and chili while the pasta boils.
-Cut the heat to your pan, and then toss the pasta with the sauce and some pasta water.
-Once decently coated, add a sprinkle of freshly grated pecorino Romano and toss till smooth and creamy.
-Top with some more pecorino and enjoy.

Yo, as an Italian, you're good, I'd eat the fuck out of everything you make
I got introduced to Amatriciana in Rome and it quickly became my favorite. I haven’t been able to find it here in the US. I’ll definitely try this recipe out
Please stop butchering Italian. Is it really that hard to ask Google or Siri or Alexa? How to pronounce foreign words?
imagine thinking we’d let a yank tell us about italian food. you can shove your olive garden bs up ya
So simple. And good
A for Amazing..or Sorprendente!!
Great video! Simple, clean, and no spanking of the Guanciale! 😂
My favourite. Such an underrated pasta. Also, such an underrated channel. You’re amazing.
your voice is soothing and the food looks comforting… keep it up
What about the white wine?
this guy's beautiful
i don't even know what he cooked
This is the pasta I always choose on the menu. Just love me my red sauce 👌😤
Should’ve said my dealer instead of my supplier 👀
Not only your recipes are OK but also your pronunciation of Italian words deserves appreciation. Good job. Hi from Italy
I love how clean and neat your videos are. And you feel like a genuine dude, not a TikTok kid trying to somehow get famous through any means possible.
That was perfect. Divine even. I personally would give you the italian citizenship😭
One of my favs
Thank you Fryan Reynolds
After going through many recipes, I settled for this but add onions and white wine, some parsley if I feel like it. You can still taste everything and this approach is also used by many Italians. I think as long as you don't add garlic you are fine.
A pioggia!!
This video has changed my god damn life. I just made this for my fiance and my mind is blown. So easy and delicious. Thank you I loved the video
Why does the guanciale look so dull? You seem to be happy with it, but I assume it’s coming to you frozen because when I buy guanciale in the market it has a lot more colour.
i need it
This channel deserves more popularity
very kind pasta man
Best pasta in the world
try and leave the pelati tomatoes in bigger chunks. that’s how they do it in amatrice. i’ve been there many times even before the earthquake. knowing that the city center doesn’t exist anymore breaks my heart. so many fond memories
Damn it i was thinking of making this for supper, but right now I realised that i don't have any pecorino at home!!!
In an last resort can i use the cheese i have at home?
