Matriciana
DESCRIPTION

Matriciana is a pasta dish featuring guanciale (cured pork cheek), garlic, and tomatoes, simmered together to create a flavorful sauce. The pasta is tossed with the sauce and finished with a sprinkle of tangy Pecorino cheese and a squeeze of lemon. The result is a comforting dish with a balance of rich, savory, and slightly acidic flavors.

WINE PAIRING

Matriciana, a savory pasta dish with guanciale, garlic, tomato, and pecorino, pairs well with a white Chardonnay or a red Sangiovese. The acidity in the tomato sauce and the saltiness of the cheese complement the medium-bodied, crisp white wine or the medium-bodied, fruity red wine. The wine's structure and flavor profile balance the dish's rich, simmered texture and bold flavors.
