Pasta alla gricia is a classic Italian pasta dish from Rome that is served in pretty much every restaurant. The story goes that this dish has been cooked in Rome even before they had tomatoes.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti

I'm not a big fan of guanciale, so I substituted pancetta instead. It turned out great! The pancetta was crispy and flavorful, and the rest of the dish was perfect. I will definitely be making this again with pancetta.
