Pasta alla Gricia (English Version)

Pasta alla gricia is a typical Roman dish, also known as white amatriciana because of the absence of tomatoes. The ingredients are the same as for cacio e pepe, plus the addition of the guanciale (pork cheek).
The classic recipe requires the use of spaghetti, bucatini or tonnarelli, but for lovers of short pasta, the alternatives are: rigatoni and mezze maniche.
