PASTA alla GRICIA

Pasta alla gricia is one of the most famous dishes of Lazio cuisine, considered by all to be the ancestor of pasta all'amatriciana. In fact, in common there is the use of guanciale (bacon) and Pecorino romano cheese.

The main difference lies in the use of tomato, which is not present in pasta alla gricia. This is because its origin dates back to before the tomato was imported into Europe. Pasta alla gricia is said to have been invented by the Lazio shepherds who, with the few ingredients they had available on their return from the pastures, prepared a dish so simple but equally tasty and substantial.

Which pasta to choose for a good dish of Gricia pasta? Spaghetti, Bucatini and Tonnarelli are good. In this tutorial we have chosen the Tonnarelli.
