How it tastes
Bold tomatoes, salty guanciale, sharp Pecorino Romano: straight-talking Roman flavour with a long finish.
Penne all'amatriciana
with tomato sugo, bacon, basil and pecorino
In Amatrice they swear by guanciale, tomatoes and pecorino — nothing else needed. That is exactly what lands on your plate: bacon melting into the sugo, penne soaking up every ridge, salty Pecorino Romano on top.

The Roman classic: penne rigate in a spicy tomato sauce with crisply rendered guanciale and plenty of Pecorino Romano. The sauce cooks in the time it takes the pasta to boil.
Method
Guanciale
Put the guanciale in a wide frying pan without any fat and fry slowly over a medium heat for approx. 8 mins, until the fat has rendered and the guanciale is crisp.
Sauce
Add the tomatoes to the guanciale in the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce uncovered for approx. 15 mins, until slightly thickened. Season with a little salt and pepper, as the guanciale and cheese are already salty.
Penne
Cook the penne in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain.
Combining
Remove the pan from the heat and stir the pecorino into the sauce. Add the penne and toss carefully.
Serving
Divide the penne between warmed plates and sprinkle with pecorino.
- Tip:
- Guanciale is Italian cured pork cheek. It gives the sauce its characteristic flavour; use pancetta as a substitute.
- Variation:
- If you like it hot, add a pinch of chilli flakes with the tomatoes.
- Serve with:
- Rocket salad with a lemon and olive oil dressing.
