    This dish is delicious and most certainly all' Amatriciana. Using pancetta or good bacon works very well. And red onion is great in the sauce. Buonissimo!

    This is most certainly not Alla'matriciana! There are NO onions. You forgot the white wine. You add the pecorino into the sauce (more at the table if preferred. YOU DO NOT USE PANCETTA! The correct pork product is GUANCIALE. If you cannot find this. Don't make it! Please stick with the "grilling". Leave Italian Cuisine to real Chefs.
