While Daniele Uditi is most well-known for his pizza prowess at his Pizzana restaurants in Los Angeles, it’s important to realize that his pasta skills are pretty close to perfect as well. Bucatini All’Amatriciana is typically grouped together as part of the four mother pastas of Rome, which also includes Cacio e Pepe, Gricia, and Carbonara. But Amatriciana actually hails from the town of Amatrice, which is a two-hour drive northeast of the capital city. Regardless of its origins and what it’s now known for, the dish is heaven on a plate that combines the sizzling fatty oils of guanciale with hand-crushed tomatoes and finely grated pecorino. So, grab your bib, get your stomach ready, and prepare to devour this super easy and super tasty Italian treat.
