Bucatini all’Amatriciana
Although today this dish is most commonly associated with Rome, it is originally from Amatrice, a town in the region of Lazio, north of the city, in the agricultural area of the Gran Sasso mountain range. It was originally made with a white sauce, before tomatoes were introduced to Italy in the eighteenth century, but the key ingredients now are jowl bacon (called guanciale), olive oil, ripe plum tomatoes, and pecorino cheese, cooked together in a lightweight cast-iron pan. This is my personal rendition, and deviates from the traditional version with the addition of sliced onions, for texture and sweetness, as well as some peperoncino and, to add complexity, bay leaves, which are one of my favorite herbs.
