What kind of dish is this?

This is a dish that was born in Amatrice,
Italy, which consists of pecorino cheese, guanciale, pasta and tomato.
※The Three Greatest Pastas in Rome↓
・Cacio e pepe
・Amatriciana
・Carbonara
※Brothers of Amatriciana.↓
・Pasta alla gricia(different name=White Amatriciana)

Roots

・Cacio e pepe developed by a shepherd.
・Gricia was born by adding guanciale to Cacio e pepe.
・Amatrice, 20km from Gricia’s hometown, Grisciano, was born by adding tomato to Gricia.
※Gricia is sometimes called “white Amatriciana”.

History

The first record of using tomato sauce for pasta was in 1790.
The place was Naples. Since Amatrice belonged to the Kingdom of Naples, they started using tomato sauce for their existing pasta dishes.
Amatriciana was born by adding tomato sauce to the already eaten Gricia.

Spread

Changes in the industrial structure in the 19th century have led to more people migrating from Amatrice to Rome.
They found employment as a chef and popularized their local dish, Amatriciana.

Others

Cacio e pepe with distinctive rich pecorino, Gricia with pork flavor added to Cacio e pepe, and Amatriciana with tomato added to Gricia.
Through these three dishes, I realized what the Italians value.
These are all Shepherd’s dishes.
If the cheese used is beef cheese, the important core of the shepherd’s dish is destroyed.
In that case, it will be a different dish.
That’s why Italian food is stipulated with even fine types of cheese, meat and tomatoes.
