Pasta all’Amatriciana | ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS! (Italian Bacon Tomato Pasta)

Today I’m making one of Rome’s most iconic pasta dishes.

This pasta is simple, but incredibly powerful.
Pasta all’Amatriciana comes from the small town of Amatrice in central Italy.

Before tomatoes arrived in Europe, the original version of this dish was called gricia, made with guanciale and pecorino cheese. When tomatoes were introduced, the dish evolved into Amatriciana — the version we know and love today.

Simple, honest, and full of flavor, it represents the heart of Roman cuisine.
For me, food is not just about taste.
It’s about energy, memories, and emotions.
This dish reminded me why I love cooking so much.

In this video, I’ll show you how to make authentic Italian pasta at home — but also share a piece of my story, as a Chinese girl cooking in Europe.

If you love real food, simple recipes, and honest moments — you’re in the right place.
