Pasta Amatriciana: A 30-Minute Roman Comfort Food Recipe

Pasta Amatriciana takes less than half an hour, feeds a family, and tastes like you had a plan all along.

Salty pork, sweet onion, garlic, tomato, a little heat, and cheese – Roman comfort food that comes together in one pan.

Ready in under 30 minutes, this Italian classic proves that simple ingredients are all you need for a meal that feels straight out of Rome.
