INGRADIENTS:


Iron Skillet.
400 Gr. High qualities spaghetti semolina pasta italian production.


Raccommended pasta Setaro n.12


250 Gr. Guanciale of Amatrice
NB: Don't use the bacon beacuse it's made from pork's belly and it's too salty and alters the flavor. The Guanciale is derived from snout of th pork. It's a more noble fat with more delicate taste and it's scented. This's the most important ingredient for preparation of Matriciana. Whit out this it's not Matriciana Sauce.
