Pasta is a long time love of mine which is what made me choose this recipe to try. The ingredients seem to be easy to find, however, not living near a major city, I had a hard time locating a few of the ingredients. I couldn’t find guanciale, slab bacon or grand padano cheese. My substitutions were pancetta, thick cut bacon and parmigiana reggiano cheese.
The dish was very simple to make and the flavors were perfectly balanced. I loved it and even my family, who aren’t as adventurous in their eating, loved it too. When I make this again I am going to do some more searching to see if I can find the exact ingredients but even if I can’t I am sure it will be delicious once again.
