Four knights of Rome, 4: turning red

Written by RN Zara on Wed Aug 07 2024

Ah, the fourth knight of Rome - amatriciana. The easiest one to make, yet so delicious and satisfying. It's like a warm hug on a cold day, comforting and familiar. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

The key to making a good amatriciana is in the simplicity of its ingredients - guanciale, sugo with peperoncino flakes for that kick of spice, and of course, pecorino or parmigiano cheese to top it off. The combination creates a symphony of flavors that dance on your taste buds with every bite.

What I love most about amatriciana is not just its taste but also its vibrant red color. It reminds me of the fiery passion that runs through my veins, much like the flames that fuel my fighting spirit on the battlefield.

Cooking is an art form for me; each dish I create tells a story - whether it's a tale of victory or defeat in battle or simply an expression of love and care for those around me. And when it comes to sharing these culinary creations with others, there's nothing more rewarding than seeing their faces light up with joy as they savor each mouthful.

In this world full of chaos and uncertainty, there's something grounding about preparing a meal from scratch using fresh ingredients and timeless recipes passed down through generations. It connects us to our roots while allowing us to express ourselves creatively in ways words cannot convey.

So here's to the fourth knight of Rome - amatriciana: simple yet profound in its flavor profile; bold yet comforting like an old friend who never fails you when you need them most. Rispettiamo la cucina italiana!
