Culture

Amatrice is especially famous for the Sugo all'amatriciana pasta sauce. Numerous cooks of the Popes came from Amatrice, according to some urban legends. In this little village the tradition wants that the original recipy of the sauce was altered outside of the place: still today citzens use to prepare the sauce,using an iron pan, just with olive oil, chopped "guanciale"(= dried pork cheek, not "pancetta"=dried bacon),white wine, tomato sauce, chilli,pepper and sheep-milk cheese. The versions outside Amatrice include fresh chopped onion and pancetta (rather than "guanciale"). Sugo allamatriciana or sugo alla matriciana is an Italian pasta sauce prepared with guanciale or pancetta and tomatoes. ... Percentages are relative to US recommendations for adults. ...
