Spaghetti Amatriciana Recipe

I like cooking pasta because the recipes for them are endless, and we can use traditional recipes or use our fantasia to create delicious pasta recipes with what we have in our refrigerator. Today, we want to share Spaghetti Amatriciana Recipe, an Italian pasta sauce recipe, which we prefer in our family. The sauce recipe based on the combination of the bacon or pork cheek with the Pecorino cheese and tomatoes. There are various cooking ways, where some prefer to add onion to the sauce, and others do not. I want to bring you the onion sauce recipe, which is tasty, and I like it. This pasta recipe is a typical first plate for cold fall and winter days, with a lot of calories in it.
