Pasta All'amatricana

Pasta All'amatricana is a very classic Italian pasta dish that goes back years and years. It's one of those pasta dishes, much like carbonara, that is so beautifully simple, but delivers no matter what mood you’re in, or what time of year it is. This is an absolute must have in the repertoire - give it a go, you won't look back!
