About Amatriciana sauce

Amatriciana sauce is a classic Italian condiment originating from the town of Amatrice in the Lazio region. This rich, savory sauce is traditionally made with simple ingredients: guanciale (cured pork cheek), ripe tomatoes, Pecorino Romano cheese, olive oil, and a touch of chili pepper for spice. Known for its bold flavors and aromatic profile, it is most commonly paired with pasta, such as bucatini or spaghetti. While Amatriciana offers protein from guanciale and essential vitamins from tomatoes, it is also high in sodium and saturated fat due to the cured pork and cheese. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, but moderation is key to balance its indulgent nature. Enjoying this sauce as part of a balanced meal can bring the authentic taste of Italian cuisine to your table while being mindful of portion sizes.
