Gricia is the oldest of the Roman pastas: guanciale, pecorino and pepper, no tomato and no egg. Precisely because there are so few ingredients there is nowhere to hide — everything rests on the stirring, on the moment when the fat from the guanciale and the pasta water turn into a cream instead of splitting. But enough talking — let's go straight to loading the ingredients into Liffo!

Tips

Prefer guanciale cut into strips. Pecorino romano is ideal, which combined with guanciale provides adequate saltiness. If using a milder pecorino, add salt to taste. Prefer short and ridged pasta shapes, capable of holding the sauce well.

Plating

Once the pot is removed, mix by hand to ensure uniformity. Season to taste with more grated pecorino and black pepper.
