"Trottole all'Amatriciana" .. "Spinning Top Pasta" with spicy, porky and tomatoey sauce. What in the world could be better than that?
Trottole is one of the best shapely pasta varieties for snatching up sauces. It's shape grabs robust sauce creations and holds it like a long lost lover. Trottole, which means “spins”, comes from the Campania Region, near Napoli. The fresh dough was rolled up around an umbrella stick! I was a metal rod and wooden dowel!
I chose one of my favorite Italian sauces, all'Amatriciana, to pair with the pasta. It's rich flavor married perfectly with the spinning trottole.
"Amatriciana" sauce based on Guanciale (cured pork cheek), Pecorino Romano Cheese, and of course Tomatoes. Originating from the town of Amatrice, the Amatriciana is one of the most well-known pasta sauces in Roman and Italian cuisine. It is so popular in Rome, the sauce has been declared as the Lazio Region's "Prodotto Agroalimentare Tradizionale" or a "Traditional Food Product".
I hope you enjoy my take on this unusual pasta dish.
Buon Apetitio!
