Simple Pasta alla Gricia | You only need guanciale, pecorino and pasta!

In this video, I am going to show you how to make this classic Roman pasta that only takes 15 minutes. It is deceptively good since it is packed with umami from the guanciale and pecorino cheese. In the time it takes the water to boil, you can have this dish done. With only a couple of techniques needed, it is a perfect weeknight pasta.

My kid is allergic to eggs, and he has watched other people eat carbonara for years, I am so excited and thrilled to be able to present him with this; no doubt it will be better than what he has ever seen. Thankyou for this traditional alternative. 😊

Look at that pan ! That is the pan of a TRUE, REAL cook, not some Facebook "influencer" ❤

[@quickandeasywithazi8809]

[@__.Stormy.__]

Thank you so much,i was waiting for this

[@actuallyitalian]

Yes, I made this video because there were requests like yours. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I am happy that I found this channel. I have enough of Vincenzo’s Plate who when became very popular started being self-righteous buffoon, mocking other chefs.

Alla gricia is what you make when you don't have eggs at home to make a carbonara... and cacio e pepe is what you make when you don't have any pork at home X-D

Can I use parmesan cheese

[@TheMacMiszka]

No No No, it’s like adding cream to Carbonara. You can’t miss the eggs!

[@mikedegroot7101]

Great video but you should try to lose the echo of your voice in the audio

[@actuallyitalian]

Yes, we are working on it. Our kitchen is big with bare walls at the moment and it shows. Thanks for the comment!

[@warek007]

Looks ok but is actually carbonara without eggs... :)

[@actuallyitalian]

Sort of yeah. It's one of the 4 classic pasta you see all over Rome. There's carbonara, alla gricia, all'amatrician, and cacio e pepe. They're all similar but different in their own ways. I would say that alla gricia is all amatriciana without the tomato.

First mistake u did is cooking guanciale with olive oil

[@actuallyitalian]

Yes, if I hadn't put the olive oil there would have been enough fat rendered from the guanciale alone. But, I mentioned in the video it was to get the rendering started so I didn't risk overcooking the guanciale and making it too crispy.

[@asilajamo]

@@actuallyitalian my bad i didnt listen that part. If you put the guanciale in a cold pan and then turn on medium heat you will get enough fat rendered.

He also forgot to mention in the video that you need plenty of pepper, although I saw in the final shot that he had sprinkled a little on. Just try serving this to Roman patrons without pepper.
