Rigatoni Amatriciana: the King of the Famous 4 Roman Pastas

Rigatoni Amatriciana is The King of the 4 roman pastas and I made it before here but that was a long time ago but me now, 2024 Steve does not approve of the method. I’ve since had it all over Rome and it might be a contender for greatest pasta. With tomatoes it's lighter than the other roman pastas, it's healthier than those that rely solely on pork fat, cheese or egg, and visually and emotionally, it's the most comforting of the 4, at least for me. But to make it right, you’re gonna need to get your hands on real guanciale. One of the silver linings of Covid was a thing called the Pact for Export, created by the Italian government to promote local businesses. So now, it's more available than it used to be and if not locally, available online here.
