Amatriciana

The pasta sauce of Amatrice, a mountain town in Lazio whose 14th-century origins were destroyed in a 2016 earthquake, is made with guanciale, Pecorino Romano, white wine, San Marzano tomatoes, and peperoncino -- a post-tomato evolution of the older pasta alla gricia. The town of Amatrice and its sauce became globally known after the earthquake, with restaurants worldwide hosting fundraising Amatriciana nights that raised 11 million euros for reconstruction.
