10 Must-Try Italian Pasta Recipes to Make at Home
SPAGHETTI CACIO E PEPE RECIPE
BUCATINI ALL'AMATRICIANA
Did you know that the name Amatriciana comes from a small village in Lazio, 1 hour from Rome, called Amatrice?
Over time, it has become a true cornerstone of Italian gastronomy just like Carbonara and Cacio e pepe; since 2020, this Italian excellence has been officially recognised by the EU as a 'Traditional Speciality Guaranteed' (Stg) against possible imitations and fakes.
BEST CARBONARA POSSIBLE
Here is what we consider the perfect recipe for preparing Pasta alla Carbonara as they serve it in Rome, rich and creamy!
Very few ingredients are needed to prepare the real Carbonara. In fact, Carbonara, according to the original recipe, is prepared with pasta, which can be spaghetti, rigatoni or mezze maniche (as is the custom in Rome), seasoned PDO Roman pecorino cheese, guanciale (not bacon) and black pepper. And the water for cooking, just to be precise!
