While tomato-less gricia is still prepared in central Italy, it is the tomato-enriched amatriciana that is better known throughout Italy and elsewhere. While in Amatrice the dish is prepared with spaghetti, [12] bucatini is now most commonly used in Rome. [1] Other types of dry pasta (particularly rigatoni) are also used.
The shape of the pasta depends on the shape of the perforations. Bucatini are made with a disk with tiny circular perforations, which forces the pasta dough to emerge in long tubes. The tubes are then trimmed off to the desired length and then either cooked fresh or dried. Bucatini can be made at home with a stand mixer and a pasta extruder. [8]
Traditionally, the sauce is served with spaghetti, although it is also paired with penne, bucatini, linguine, and vermicelli. Garlic and anchovies (omitted in the Neapolitan version) are sautéed in olive oil. Chopped chili peppers, olives, capers, diced tomatoes, and oregano are added, along with salt and black pepper to taste.
1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the cooking water. 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil.

[9] [31] [32] Recipes differ as to which part of the egg is used—some use the whole egg, some others only the yolk, and still others a mixture. [33] The amount of eggs used also vary, but the intended result is a creamy sauce from mild heating. [8] For vegetarians, there are also recipes that utilize mushrooms and vegetables instead of meat.

Pasta is generally served with some type of sauce; the sauce and the type of pasta are usually matched based on consistency and ease of eating. Northern Italian cooking uses less tomato sauce, garlic and herbs, and béchamel sauce is more common. [44] However, Italian cuisine is best identified by individual regions.
