Bucatini amatriciana, traditional recipe – light & yummy

Bucatini amatriciana light

Here’s my light version of  Bucatini amatriciana, a very popular Italian recipe. This recipe is based on one of the many versions of this dish. In fact in Italy cities the amatriciana sauce is prepared in different ways. This dish has evolved during the years but the most known version nowadays is made with guanciale or pancetta, a type of Italian bacon. And of course the ingredient number one of Italian cookery: tomatoes!

Bucatini amatriciana is very easy to make, ideal for organising a last minute pasta dinner with friends. I tried to make this recipe as simple and light as possible in order to keep all the flavour without adding too much fat. If you are on a diet you can surely eat this dish with a nice and big salad on the side without feeling guilty!
