About Amatriciana
Amatriciana is a traditional Italian pasta sauce originating from the town of Amatrice, in the Lazio region. This beloved dish is crafted from simple, robust ingredients: cured pork cheek (guanciale), ripe tomatoes, pecorino Romano cheese, olive oil, and often chili flakes for mild heat. Served typically with pasta like bucatini or spaghetti, Amatriciana balances savory and tangy flavors while showcasing Italy's culinary heritage. Though flavorful, it contains high amounts of sodium and saturated fats due to the guanciale and cheese. However, its tomato base provides antioxidants such as lycopene, which supports heart health. Olive oil offers healthy fats, and the dish can be an occasional indulgence in a balanced diet. Portion control and ingredient variations, like leaner meats, can make it a healthier choice without compromising its authentic taste.
