This Pasta Amatriciana recipe is my rendition on classic Italian amatriciana (otherwise referred as all’amatriciana or matriciana) sauce, which hails from Amatrice, Italy.
Although the dish’s history is nuanced and dates back to the 1700’s, amatriciana sauce is generally prepared from olive oil, cured pork, canned tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and pecorino cheese.
This version uses easier-to-find substitutions (eg. pancetta) and takes a few liberties, but rings true and will leave you coming back for more.
If you love hearty, flavorful, and spicy pasta sauces, you will love today’s recipe. The tomato-based sauce packs a punch and tastes like something you’d order at your favorite Italian restaurant! Best part? The whole thing comes together in less than 25 minutes.
