Why this dish represents Lazio
Amatriciana developed in Lazio and became one of Rome's defining pasta sauces.
Rome's four great pasta sauces — cacio e pepe, gricia, amatriciana and carbonara — are built from the same short list: Pecorino Romano, cured pork, black pepper, egg or tomato. Technique, not abundance.
