"The classic Roman dish—pasta all'amatriciana—is said to only call for guanciale (cured pork jowl), tomatoes, pecorino, and black pepper or some fiery chilli. It is a great dish—but this is how I tend to make it at home, with shallots and garlic because I can't live without them, cured, layered pancetta cut from the block, and with butter because, as Marcella Hazan knew, it makes a tomato sauce into something that much silkier. If you can find bucatini, this makes for one slurp-able dish!"
