While the recipe may not be "traditional", as the last reviewer noted, the inclusion of vinegar made all the difference in the world--giving the thin tomato sauce a depth and sweetness, with a little bit of that whole "agra-dulce" quality that Chiarello adores. The vinegar also balances the richness of the pancetta. My husband and I loved this and I would not consider making this all' Amartriciana any other way. Yum.

After trying the recipe i found it not to be the amatriciana that I know.I have been a chef for over 30 years trained in Italy, i do believe that you are a great chef but when it comes to original Italian cuisine you lack knowledge and I find it insulting that you are using vinegar as an ingridient. By all means if you want to create a dish, please name it differently but do not use an original name and destroy the recipe. This is not amatriciana sauce!!!. If must know amatriciana was named after the town where it was created which is in Rieti,Lazio in Italy.

Great recipe, the pasta to sauce ratio needs to be perfect. Their has to be more sauce then pasta to insure the pasta is actually filled with sauce for to be enjoyed the way I feel it was intended. Also cooking the sauce for about 10-15 minutes longer brings a much bolder taste then the time that's indicated.

it was okay but not what i expected. i used diced pancetta from trader joes and it had no flavor....also I'd prefer a bit more sauce. it was a bit dry.

Mike, you got close man! First of all, use (in America salt-port and remove the rind. Second, white wine! Tried your recipe and sorry it fell short which is surprising as your recipes are usually the "Bomb" dude!

It was delicious, quick and easy. I would ask those who didn't follow the recipe not to rate it. It's hardly fair to ding it if you either don't like pancetta, or didn't use it.

I served this with the ceasar salad recipe from the same show. A great combo. This is a wonderful, easy, tasty spaghetti recipe. My husband ate it cold the next day!
