Amatriciana is a traditional pasta sauce from Italy, originating from the Lazio and Abruzzo regions. In the traditional recipe, the sauce is made only with tomatoes, pork cheek, and pecorino cheese. For the pasta, bucatini are used, but since I couldn't find any, I replaced them with rigatoni, which work perfectly. It's a very basic and quick recipe that can be suitable for everyday meals to add some variety. :)
Cut the meat into cubes and sauté for about 5 minutes in a pot, add the tomatoes and cook for 15 to 20 minutes over low heat.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the time indicated on the package.
Drain the pasta, reserving a ladleful of cooking water to add to the sauce, then add the pasta and mix to fully coat them.
To finish, season with pepper, sprinkle with grated cheese, and serve immediately.
