About Amatriciana pasta

Amatriciana pasta is a classic Italian dish originating from the town of Amatrice in the Lazio region. This flavorful recipe features simple yet robust ingredients, including guanciale (cured pork cheek), ripe tomatoes, pecorino Romano cheese, olive oil, and a touch of chili for heat, all served over spaghetti or bucatini. Known for its rich taste, Amatriciana offers protein from the pork and some nutrients from tomatoes, such as vitamin C and antioxidants like lycopene. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fats due to the guanciale and cheese, making it best enjoyed in moderation. Typically prepared with authentic Italian techniques, this dish is a comforting representation of traditional Roman cuisine and ideal for sharing at the table. By choosing whole-grain pasta or adjusting the portion size, you can slightly improve the nutritional profile of this iconic culinary staple.
