I love starting my Italian cooking with pancetta and onions! This is a great way to make a traditional Italian Sauce.Amatriciana goes great with seafood, chicken cutlets or even pasta! It does have a different taste than your Italian Maranara but once you give it a try…You will love it.. Sometimes I add capers right before serving! Cooking Italian is certainly my favorite! Enjoy…
