Pasta Amatriciana is a classic Italian dish originating from the town of Amatrice in the Lazio region. It features a rich, savory sauce made with guanciale (cured pork cheek), ripe tomatoes, Pecorino Romano cheese, and chili flakes, served over al dente pasta, often bucatini or spaghetti. This dish is celebrated for its simple yet bold flavors and authentic Roman cuisine roots. Nutritionally, Pasta Amatriciana provides a source of protein from the guanciale and essential nutrients like calcium from the Pecorino Romano cheese. Tomatoes contribute vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting overall health. However, the dish is high in sodium due to the cured pork and cheese, and its fat content is noteworthy. Moderation is key to enjoying this flavorful dish as part of a balanced diet. Traditional yet indulgent, Pasta Amatriciana embodies the essence of rustic Italian cooking.
