About this recipe
Classically, Sugo all'Amatrciana (sauce from Amatrice) is prepared with guanciale (salt-cured pork jowl) or pancetta. I prefer using both to enhance the porky flavor. It can be prepared with or without the pepper flakes. As you can see, I prefer the spicier version. It also is traditionally served with bucatini, but any hearty pasta (e.g., ziti or mostaccioli) will work equally well. And once again, the real "secret" to this recipe is the 6 IN 1 brand tomatoes. They are absolutely worth the extra effort to find them.
