There are 4 classic Roman pasta dishes. You know how to make two of them. Cacio e Pepe and carbonara. There are two left. Pasta Alla Gricia and Amatriciana. Before tomatoes were introduced to the region surrounding Rome, Italians relied on animal fats and cheeses to make their pastas. Pasta Alla Gricia is very similar to Cacio e pepe, but with guanciale and it’s fat. Then tomatoes were introduced and was added to Alla gricia, transforming it to what we know as Amatriciana. Essentially a tomato sauce cooked in pork fat to give it flavor and seasoned with black pepper and pecorino. It’s delicious. Learn how it’s done.

ZEPPOLES
ITALIAN DOUGHNUTS
I'm gonna show you how to make Zeppoles from scratch, also known as Italian doughnuts, usually found at street fairs, served in a brown paper bag and served with a mount of powdered sugar. I get zeppoles once a year at the san gennnaro feast in NYC. If you ever wondered how to make donuts without yeast this may be the recipe you're looking for. These are the best doughnuts in my opinion and one of my favorite childhood foods. And this is the easiest donut recipe I have come across. This is my first dessert and of course, it's an Italian dessert. Be careful when you fry donuts at home.

I know this dish is delicious, but the amount of fat from the guanciale may not be the best for those of us trying to eat a lighter That's Not My Neighbor. Still, this is a great dish for special occasions!
AMATRICIANA is a very famous pasta dish all over the world and the way to make it is also very difficult, luckily I saw this recipe today and I will definitely make this dish again and I wordle nyt really hope it will be as delicious as the way you made it.
Oh, yea... simply beautiful. Used guanciale and handfuls of pecorino (initially thought it was a lot like in your video but it was perfect! add- taste -add. The wife gave me that "You're a genius!" look again. - BobbyThreeMeatball
