FoodNetwork Finally Impressed me With this Amatriciana Sauce

Finally someone that made me happy!
Scott really did a great job with this Amatriciana recipe! I can feel the passion he has and he definitely have the skills. The only thing missing was the love between the ingredients, it doesn't seem to me that the flavors are well blended with each other!
But despite this I feel like complimenting scott, who didn't make me mad like so many others have already done!

Italian American, make sauce at least once a week. I have been blending my Sofrito since watching your video. Love that it melts into the sauce leaving the texture of the sauce intact. It's an absolutely brilliant move. Surprised other Chefs don't do this. Thanks Vincenzo.

[@vincenzosplate]

I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the technique of blending the sofrito into the sauce! It really does make a difference. 🍝 Thank you for your kind words and for trying out the recipe. If you have any other questions or need more tips, feel free to ask. Happy cooking! 😊👨‍🍳

[@brcha]

Hello, Vincenzo, I love your channel. But I wanted to note something. You always complain about not saying "extra virgin" before "olive oil". Frankly, I've never seen non-extra virgin olive oil anywhere and I've never met anyone who thinks "olive oil" is anything but "extra virgin". I do, how ever, know what's the difference between the commercial olive oil (extra virgin) and the one that is domestic. It's night and day. Perhaps that is because I live in the Mediterranean area, but, just saying, I would never say "extra virgin" olive oil simply because that part is implied.

[@angelomazzei2801]

@@brcha There's also Pomace olive oil which is not extra virgin that some use.

[@brcha]

​@@angelomazzei2801 Yes, I know, but, at least I have never been in a situation where somebody uses the term "olive oil" to mean anything but extra virgin. If the pomace olive oil is mentioned, then it is explicitly noted.

[@angelomazzei2801]

@@brcha I agree.

[@carlos_herrera]

@@brcha In the US, non-extra virgin olive oil is common. 10 years ago it was prominent on the supermarket shelf, though now it is mostly Extra Virgin though you still see pomace oil as like 1/3rd of the shelf.

[@shelaughs185]

Yes. Scott's mother is Italian. He comes by it honestly. Also, since you asked, carbonara is my favorite. Made it for my bestie when we were staying near Little Italy in San Deigo where I sourced fresh, quality ingredients, and she was blown away. I wish my sweet husband liked a creamy pasta and I could make it all the time. But then I'd be as big as a house, so maybe it's strategic for him. 😂

[@vincenzosplate]

It's wonderful to hear about your experiences with carbonara! 😄 It's always a delight to introduce friends to delicious Italian dishes. And don't worry, moderation is key to enjoying pasta without going overboard. Keep exploring and enjoying the flavors!

[@MsJavaWolf]

Your videos inspired me to really practice the classic Roman pastas. About 2 weeks ago I bought some guanciale, some Pecorino Romano and every day I was cooking either Cacio e Pepe, Grigia, Amatriciana or Carbonara. I was most surprised by the Cacio e Pepe, because I thought it would be *too* simple but the pepper creates a complex base, not just spicy but very earthy and savoury, that moment when you add pasta water to the pepper and it creates that cloud, it's one of the best smells. I feel like I've learnt a skill that I can use for the rest of my life so thank you for the videos.

[@vincenzosplate]

That's amazing to hear! It's wonderful how you've embraced the art of making classic Roman pastas. 🍝 The flavors and aromas of dishes like Cacio e Pepe are truly magical. Keep exploring and enjoying the culinary journey. Viva Italia! 🇮🇹

[@Joseph1NJ]

Mario Batali once said Italians eat pasta often, almost every day, but only about two ounces. I thought, who only eats two ounces of pasta? He certainly looks like he ate more than that. It's a shame what happened to him though. He was one of the best on the Food Network, before it turned into the Guy Fieri game show.

[@hogni6036]

Yep, If you make pasta just as an intermediate course its just 50-100gr dry pasta per person. If its a main/single dish its more of course. As a teenager I started with 500gr. dry pasta, now I am at 150-250g if I only eat a pasta dish.

[@vincenzosplate]

Thanks for sharing!

[@vincenzosplate]

Using paper towels to drain cooked pancetta or guanciale can indeed help achieve crispiness. The paper towels absorb excess oil, allowing the meat to dry out slightly, which can result in a crispier texture.

[@jonnyskray3000]

Vin! So one thing I encourage is to ALWAYS undercook the pasta by 1/3, and have a slightly watery sauce! Why? The noodles will absorb the rest of the water, and thicken the sauce. Thus, making more flavorful noodles! There is NO NEED to add pasta water to thicken the sauce, when you can cook the noodles in the actual sauce! 😋

[@konstantin3101]

My favorite is Amatriciana, and not just among Roman sauces, but among all kinds of sauces. I could say Bolognese is my another favorite, but to be fair, I cook Amatriciana much more often, as it is lighter and much easier to cook.

For the acidity, use cans but try to find one's that use salt as a stabilizer and not citric acid, I've realized this after Vincenzo's passata comparison video. For Europeans with access to Billa stores, their natural/bio line uses only Italian tomatoes and salt, best canned tomatoes I've tried.

[@vincenzosplate]

[@Etienne_O]

Guanciale slice like that is very good on roman style pizza. I will try his method of cooking it next time I'm going to make an Amatriciana sauce to try something different. Did you know that The U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the importation of guanciale and other cured meats from Italy from the 1970s until 2013. Maybe that's why it's not very well known on our side of the Atlantic. There are only a few places where it can be found in my city in Canada.

[@vincenzosplate]

That's interesting! Food import regulations can vary across countries. Give the Amatriciana sauce a try with the new method, and let me know how it turns out. 🍝👨‍🍳 It's always exciting to explore different flavors and techniques!

[@Niyucuatro]

what i do to correct accidity in tomato sauces is adding a pinch of baking soda. Too much will mess with the flavour. But a little pinch will react with the acid and neutralize it.

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

I actually agree on using peeled tomatoes, Vincenzo. I make meat based sauces all the time, and I find that using peeled tomatoes gives the freshest possible flavor. I usually blend them because I usually like a smoother consistency in the tomatoes.

[@KezzaTianzun]

Yes Vincenzo, strained tomatos is basically passata. That machine you use to crush the tomatoes and get the juice out of them is a "strainer" basically.

I have used the slow method to cook guanciale before specifically because I wanted to use the rendered fat later. I recently cooked a steak using guanciale fat instead of oil and it was amazing.

[@laneromel5667]

Most Plum Tomatoes have a PH between 4.3 to 4.6, so no acids are required for canning. Julius Caesar may come back to earth and strike me down, but I use Marinara Sauce, (I am from Canada) in my Amatriciana, because the Marinara Sauce has already cooked for a couple of hours, the Amatriciana comes together as fast as the Guanciale can crisp up.

[@vincenzosplate]

Using Marinara Sauce as a base for Amatriciana can indeed provide a flavorful shortcut, as it has already undergone a cooking process and developed complex flavors. This can save time and still result in a delicious dish when combined with crispy Guanciale. Regarding the acidity of plum tomatoes, you're correct that they generally have a pH level between 4.3 to 4.6, which is considered safe for canning without the need for additional acids. However, it's worth noting that traditional Amatriciana recipes often use fresh or canned San Marzano tomatoes, which have a sweeter flavor profile and lower acidity compared to other tomato varieties.

The first time I bought Guanciale, the deli made an assumption and sliced it thinly. It gets very crispy but you don't get a succulent, juicy centre as with thicker cut Guanciale.

[@vincenzosplate]

Yeah it's better a bit thicker

[@xnonsuchx]

I’m glad I don’t post cooking videos. Vincenzo would be horrified at my ‘Italian’ dish cooking…but I still like it.

[@vincenzosplate]

Everyone has their own cooking style and preferences, and that's what makes it fun and unique! It's great that you enjoy your own "Italian" dishes. Cooking is all about expressing yourself and creating something you love. Keep cooking and exploring new flavors! 😄👨‍🍳

I probably make this more than any other pasta dishes since for me it's probably the simplest and I absolutely love tomatoes! I also use cherry tomatoes, but for practical purposes - my wife always has grand ambitions of making a lot of salads, but she doesnt spend as much time in the kitchen as she used to, so I end up using her ingredients for my dishes, including cherry tomatoes, so I'm not complaining 😊 Scott meant well, but his final results looked more like American spaghetti than Amatriciana. I dont want to just SEE sauce, I want to FEEL it!

[@fransbuijs808]

And not drink it!

[@vincenzosplate]

It's wonderful to hear that you enjoy making this pasta dish so frequently and that you have a love for tomatoes! Using cherry tomatoes is a practical and delicious choice, especially when you have them readily available. Making the most of the ingredients on hand is a great way to create tasty meals, and it's fantastic that you can repurpose your wife's ingredients for your own dishes. Cooking is all about adaptability and making the most of what you have. Keep enjoying your flavorful pasta creations, and if you have any more questions or need further cooking inspiration, feel free to ask! Happy cooking!

And yes strained means passata. As I recall passata means passed through, so passed through a sieve. I my country we don't bother translating it. The packet says passata and everyone knows what you mean when you say passata.

[@vincenzosplate]

You're absolutely correct! Passata is indeed a strained tomato sauce, and it's great that you clarified that. It's interesting how different countries have their own terms. Happy cooking! 🍅👨‍🍳🇮🇹

[@bobbobson3098]

passata is just tomatoes passed through a strainer, so they are strained tomatoes

Well, he did a pretty good job in what he created. I am quite impressed.

[@fatrobin72]

In the uk we used "strained" or more frequently "sieved" tomatoes to describe passata... now that is more likely to be used as a smaller description rather than its name. Personally i use passata a lot as i cant stand tomato seeds (just weird reactions to eating them)

Will say I tried two specialty markets in MI - Westborn in Dearborn and Randazzos in Warren which have a respectable meat/cheese selection and Randazzos even has fresh in house made canoli so very Italian American roots - and no luck at either on guanchale. 💔 There's a specialty tiny Italian market I will check out next, just out of the way, but we're far from easy specialty market guanchale access. Pancetta though, we're good, both had it and Randazzos had multiple great looking options. They'll get there. ☺️

[@vincenzosplate]

Oh, I understand it can be challenging to find guanciale in some areas. 🐷 It's great to hear that you had better luck with pancetta. Hopefully, the Italian market you mentioned will have guanciale too. Keep exploring and experimenting with flavors! 👨‍🍳🇮🇹

[@jenelaina5665]

@@vincenzosplate I don't mind necessarily 🙂 it's just funny that I can find say, halloumi easier than guanchale - at an Italian American produce/meat market. 🤷‍♀️ If I ask enough and other people do too, hopefully they'll hear it! ❤️I could order online but I'd rather support local folks, and my pancetta carbonara was pretty good - followed your Rome video although I know you've adjusted since then. Next time I'll try the newer one. 🙂

Yes, "a couple" of recent Food Network 'How-To's' are really well done. Don't be too quick to hand out huzzahs to them, just yet. That network is all about Reality Television, where the food and technique are merely 'props' in their ratings game. "Maybe" this sort of approach is a positive step forward for those viewers actually interested in cooking. Time will tell. Thanks.

[@vincenzosplate]

Yeah it could be a good approach! Thank you

[@kolektyw9686]

For example in my country - Poland It's hard to find guanciale in shops. Only raw pork jowl is available. That's why I am making my own guanciale in dry aging machine :D

[@vincenzosplate]

That's resourceful! Making your own guanciale shows your dedication to authentic flavors. 🐖🇮🇹 It's great to see how you adapt recipes with the ingredients available. Keep up the creative cooking! 🍽️😄

[@robvalone9070]

vincenzo , i would love to see you on some of these cooking shows.... you know theres a famous restaurant called patsy's...and when you talk about garlic and flavoring the oil, then removing it. thats exactly what they used to do for Frank Sinatra ! Frank was always worried about offending someone with a heavy garlic , i guess breath after eating his favorite dish. at least that was what written in patsy's book. and i also do this in some dishes. like you say not everything needs garlic. but sometimes garlic flavored oil adds such a deeper flavor..

[@vincenzosplate]

That's fascinating! 🍝🧄 Adding garlic-flavored oil can indeed bring a deeper flavor to dishes. It's interesting to hear about Patsy's and their approach. I appreciate you sharing this insight. Feel free to try the recipe and let me know how it turns out for you! Buon appetito! 👨‍🍳😊

[@hic_tus]

as sardinian, i'm going to make a point here, our pecorino can be way too strong. even spicy. what you want for a pasta, unless you like it, is a mildly matured one. sardinia is the land of the pecorino cheese, we mastered it and we have so many varieties you can't imagine😆

[@Johndantonio2]

I've just (on the the plane to Australia at this moment) left Roma. And although this dish looks like it would taste ok, it absolutely would not compete with a Roman Amatriciana.

[@vincenzosplate]

I understand your perspective, as the authentic Roman Amatriciana has a unique taste. Each dish carries its own charm, and I hope you enjoy exploring the flavors of my version. Bon appétit! 🍝🇮🇹

[@miamiking8385]

Che buona l'amatriciana😍 la mangio minimo 1 volta a settimana

È davvero deliziosa, vero? 🍝 Sono felice che ti piaccia l'Amatriciana. È uno dei miei piatti preferiti anche io! Se hai qualche variante o consiglio da condividere, sarò felice di saperne di più. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹😋

[@60frederick]

Vincenzo, I have a question. If Guanciale is so often used in Italian meals, are there pigs in Italy with their cheeks? 😅 Next to Pancetta I don't know a typical Italian meal using pork. I know ham and bacon, but.... Sorry for my not-knowing, my inexperience. Thank you very much for sharing your reaction video with us.

[@vincenzosplate]

That's a great question! Guanciale is made from the cheek of the pig, and it's a popular ingredient in many traditional Italian dishes like Carbonara. Italy has a rich culinary heritage with various pork-based dishes. Feel free to explore more Italian recipes on my channel! 🐷🍝

[@rfonline568267]

i think ramsey knows your point about mixing the sauce and the pasta BUT theres a thing called "pleasing the eye before the stomach" specially nowadays with the abundance of FOOD bloggers.

[@nicolas6065]

Ohhhhh now I understand why I failed my cacio e pepe! I think I did not cut off the fire under the pan at the end, so I got strings of pecorino, so stupid 🙈

[@vincenzosplate]

Don't worry, it happens to the best of us! 😅 Cutting off the fire at the end is crucial for a creamy cacio e pepe. Keep trying, and you'll nail it! If you have any more questions or need tips, feel free to ask. 👨‍🍳🧀

[@Offoda]

curious: is there a different flavor between prosciutto and thin cut guanciale? more/less fat? (we get told you can substitute prosciutto if guanciale isn't available, but what do we lose if we do..? ) i'd rather get a guanciale chunk anyday, but this thin cut is throwing me a wrinkle.. O.o

[@vincenzosplate]

Guanciale has a richer, more intense flavor compared to prosciutto. It also has a higher fat content, which adds a unique richness to dishes like pasta all'amatriciana. If you can get guanciale, go for it! It will elevate the flavors. 🐷🍝

[@Offoda]

@@vincenzosplate Interesting! my first thought was maybe the "salt content" was different, or the curing process changed something (like "smoked bacon"). Alberta (CAN) has no shortage of good meat, but Guanciale remains somewhat elusive.. challange accepted.. ;) Thank you for taking the time, sir! (maestro?)
