SPAGHETTI ALL'AMATRICIANA



Spaghetti All'Amatriciana image

Spaghetti All'Amatriciana is a traditional Italian dish that reminds me of my roots. This amatriciana sauce recipe features guanciale (dried pork cheek). Guanciale can be hard to find, but pancetta or thick-cut bacon are good substitutes. -Lou Sansevero, Ferron, Utah

  • Cook spaghetti to "al dente" in salted (2 Tbsp kosher salt per gallon) water. Dice guanciale into small pieces. Saute guanciale in a large pan with 1 tsp of olive oil for 7-10 minutes on medium heat.
  • Remove guanciale after cooked through and set aside. To the pan with the remaining fat add 2 ounces of pasta water and the pasta. Cook the pasta in the guanciale fat and water mixture for 1 minute then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Wait for 1 minute, then add the egg/cheese mixture to the spaghetti and mix quickly. A creamy sauce will form. If it is too dry add a couple tablespoons of pasta water at a time to get the perfect consistency. If it is too wet add a touch more pecorino.

  • Weigh the jowl in grams. Now weigh out 2% of that weight in regular salt, and then 0.25% -- that's a quarter of 1 percent -- of curing salt. Very roughly speaking, this should be about 4 tablespoons of regular salt and a quarter teaspoon of curing salt. Mix these salts together. If you like sugar in your cure, mix this in as well. I like a half cup of brown sugar sometimes.
  • Massage the salts (and sugar, if using) into the jowl well. Put the jowl in a vacuum bag and add any stray salt. Seal the bag and put in the fridge for a week. If you don't have a vacuum bag, put the jowl in a sealable plastic bag and set that in the fridge for a week. In this case, flip the jowl over every day.
  • When the jowl has been cured, remove it from the bag, give it a quick rinse and pat dry. Set it on a rack in the fridge overnight.
  • Get your smoker ready. Set it at as close to 165F as you can, and you can go a little hotter and a lot cooler if you have that ability. Take the jowl out of the fridge and set it in the smoker. Smoke for at least 3 hours, and up to 8 hours if your smoker is below 120F. I like 4 hours at 165F.

  • Mix all the cure ingredients together and pack the jowl with it. Massage the cure into the meat and fat. Put the jowl into a container (plastic, glass, ceramic, stainless steel) that just barely holds it, and toss in any remaining cure. Cover the container and put in the fridge for 4 to 7 days. Turn the jowl over once a day.
  • When the meat has stiffened up at the thickest part, usually 5 days or more, rinse off the cure (you can leave a little on, but get most off), and pat the jowl dry. Put on a rack in a drafty place for several hours.
  • Poke a hole through the skin on a corner of the jowl and tie string to it. Hang the jowl in a cool, moist place (50-55°F and at least 65 percent humidity, but see above for more curing instructions) for at least 3 weeks before eating. To store, cut into large chunks and vacuum seal or cover with plastic wrap and butcher paper before freezing. Guanciale will last, well-wrapped, in the fridge for several months.

  • Wear clean gloves while handling the pork.* Pat the trimmed jowl completely dry and place it on a cutting board.
  • You’ll want to measure the amount of salt you use. It will be approximately 1 tablespoon of both sea and pink salt but the precise amounts for curing depend on the exact weight of the jowl. You want the weight of the sea salt to be 3 percent the weight of the trimmed meat. And you want the weight of the pink salt to be 0.25 percent the weight of the trimmed meat.
  • In a bowl, combine the sea salt, pink salt, garlic, pepper, rosemary, and sage and mix well. Sprinkle the cure all over the meat and rub it in well to coat all sides.
  • Place the pork in a resealable plastic freezer bag. Scoop up any stray rub and add it to the bag. Squeeze out the air and seal. Place the bag in a baking dish and refrigerate for 1 week. Turn the bag once a day and give the pork a little massage through the plastic each time you turn it.

  • Pancetta. Pancetta is a cured Italian bacon that can be used as a guanciale replacement. Although its cut of meat is from the belly, the preparation is quite similar, resulting in a comparable product.
  • Bacon. When you’re looking to mimic guanciale the best choice of meats should be cured without smoking. Choose unsmoked bacon and you’ll have a useful replacement option, even if its cure is likely to be sweeter.
  • Lardo. Lardo is a great guanciale alternative if you’re using it to render down the fat. It offers a much more subtle pork flavor and has a buttery texture that adds rich umami taste to foods like pizza, bread, potatoes, pastry, or steak.
  • Pork jowl. The pork jowl is from the same part of the pig that guanciale comes from and is usually salt-cured, so they have similar characteristics. It is much fattier than pancetta and is a good option if you need to render fat for a sauce like al amatriciana.
  • Salt pork. Salt pork is an economical fresh meat option that isn’t as salty as the name suggests. It usually comes from the pork belly and looks a lot like slab bacon.

WHAT IS GUANCIALE, AND HOW IS IT USED?
2021-07-27 Guanciale is cut from the cheek and bacon comes from the back, belly, and side of the animal. Because there's less available meat per animal, it's a more expensive cut of meat.
