Pasta all'Amatriciana - Is this Italy's Best Pasta Sauce? - Food Wishes

There’s no way to actually win an argument about which pasta sauce or pasta dish is Italy’s best, but that’s not really the point. Arguing is fun, and just being able to passionately make your case, more than makes the effort worthwhile. I tried to do that in this Pasta all’Amatriciana video, although it was really more about showing why, than explaining why. Enjoy!

Your professionalism and quality of content make this channel the absolute winner. Can't say how much I appreciate the fact that you are not promoting anything. You just keep on doing the most simplistic and precise thing, while making us laugh too. A true genius.

Me: *does not compute*

I was looking for quinoa recipes, drank a few beers, so here I am. Thanks chef John, I'll be making this tomorrow.

I think I've been a subscriber for about 11 years.. I never get tired of hearing you narrate these videos. ♥️

Truly, Chef John is the Bob Ross of a happy little pasta sauce.

A couple years after a decade+ in professional kitchens, I've become absolutely obsessed with Italian cooking. For me, and I mean just IMHO, it's just the most beautiful and pure cuisine ever. I love everything about it, especially the attention to great ingredients and simplicity.

Traditionally guanciale was cooked with a bit of lard that adds a bit more richness to the sauce. You are right about the wine in the past they use to add a splash of vinegar for a note of acidity. Amatriciana is amazing and don't forget a pinch of chilli :-)

Chef John and food wishes. One of the last remaining places of comfort left in the world. Thank you.

This is probably my favourite food, my grandfather (he came to Brazil from Rome in the 70's) used to cook this dish almost every week during my childhood. I love it.

When I was lucky enough to go to Rome this was one of my absolute favorite things I tasted. Thank you for the recipe chef John!

Can’t find guanciale in my area, so I use smoked hog jowl that is always available. Love it!
Thank you for teaching me to be a better cook.

I have never been more comforted in my life than by the words - 'That's just you cookin' ... freakin' gospel!

[dennisrobinson]

Made this yesterday, was fabulous felt like I was in Italy, had this in a restaurant years ago but this was much better! I love your recipes. Have made many! Thanks for your site! Enjoy

Fact: this recipe originates in the town of Amatrice, thus the name "amatriciana". Unfortunately the town of Amatrice and its people suffered severe damage and loss of life due to a major earthquake back in 2016.

I made this with pancetta since I can't find guanciale where I live and it was amazing! I feel it's one of those recipes that works best as a once in a while treat rather than being a part of my regular rotation, but nonetheless I ate the whole thing and still wanted more
