"Want a shortcut with more flavors? Try our PASTA MAGIE seasoning in this recipe! 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!"
