Got Guanciale?
These 4 dishes are a perfect example of how adding or swapping just ONE ingredient can completely change a dish. With that in mind, while it’s ok to swap bacon or pancetta for the more traditional guanciale, just know that you are tasting a different dish. Still tasty, just different.
To help more people get access to these harder to find ingredients, I actually reached out to the Italian shop where I’ve been buying my smoked guanciale for several years now. They are a small business located in Northern California, and they are truly passionate about sharing Italian food and culture with others.
They were so excited to help that they offered to set up a free gift for all orders that use the code TRIGGTUBE at checkout. So if you want to give these dishes a try for yourself and taste them just like they are made in Rome, please go to www.DonatoOnlineStore.com and use the code TRIGGTUBE for a free gift with every order.
Oh yeah… and follow me for the full recipes and tips which I’ll be posting as part of an upcoming series.

For these recipes, with less ingredients means you have to get creative with those ingredients to achieve the texture and taste at a high level.
Using more ingredients may have the chemical combinations you need to replace the higher skillgap in technique to get the texture or taste.
I.e. emusilfication binding fat content sugar salt moisture… et.c
Mac and cheese? seriously? don't even put them into the same sentence with Cacio e pepe….
I love my Cacio e Pepe with nice big chunks of cracked pepper . It’s not always so easy to get a smooth sauce ( plus I sometimes bastardize it with some cherry tomatoes and basil ;))
I can't name them, but I could eat them…
Why was I about to say "spaghetti?"
Pictures of someone bringing that to your table for 35.00
I’m a little dumbstruck, since Tomato sauce and tomatoes in General didn’t exist in Italy for a majority of its existence. The tomatoes come from South America. The romans would not entirely have any. But i guess it could refer to city romans.
Rome didn’t have tomato’s??
I am italian😂
tried cacio e pepe in rome and it was super boring actually
where's the actual recipe?
😮
you may never read this but as someone who never learned to cook myself this is very good content 🙂
This is hard to pull off perfectly. I have been working on making my own pasta and sauces and let me tell you internet…. im still working on it😅
Were tomatoes even during the Roman Empire? I though tomatoes didn’t arrive until like late 1500s
Cacio e pepe was trending in recent years and I grew up making something similar but different. I wonder if it is in this family?
equal parts sauce and angel hair pasta (you eyeball it, in the serving bowl)
sauce:
finely grated parmesan and wet ingredients mixture
equal parts (eyeballing it in the bowl- its usually 1/2 c parmesan and 1/2c wet ingredients)
wet ingredients:
equal parts lemon juice olive oil
mix all.together and cover the top with cracked black pepper until you can't see the ingredients underneath the thin blanket of pepper, then mix again
Its spicy and sweet and bitter and chewy and delicate and addictive
That plate brother 😮❤ is worth 💯s nd it is beautiful perfect 🤩😁😇♥️
I thought Romans didn't have tomatoes?
ohhhh first correct video about italian pasta! bravo !
I'm assuming you mean modern Rome, because tomatoes were unknown to the Roman Empire.
I like adding delicious pan fried hot dogs to all of these for that authentic italian touch.
Romans didnt have tomatos lmfao, it's from South america???
"But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Pasta was made. In the land of Castelli Romani, just south of Rome, a fifth pasta was created. And into this pasta they poured all the ingredients for Cacio e Pepe, Gricia, Amatriciana and Carbonara. Pasta alla Zozzona was thus made".
When Carrabbas used to serve Cavatappi Amatriciana it was so freaking good. Back when it was all from scratch =[
Red pepper flakes on pasta is so good
Carbonara I heard means, “Of Coals”in Italian because it’s supposed to be so blackened by pepper.
Was. Anfrage Spiel mit liltarisbh militärische unerzohung dbake
Looks like first would be my favorite. I don’t like marinara so no to that
They're all spaghetti
Why are there always some people needing to argue in the comment section of Trigg's videos? Chill, people… It's food! Cooking… Yummy… Why so petty?
The 4th one is Larry
Cacio e pepe ❌️
Kaccioe epeppe ✅️
This makes me think id like cheeseie pasta
I’ll scarf all them down fast enough to not be able to tell the difference
Don't forget "pasta alla zozzona":
It's like carbonara + amatriciana + fresh sausage
Tomatoes are a Western Hemisphere fruit.
Amatriciana means "from Amatrice" which is a town over a hundred miles from Rome. So ye… Not roman
I like the SpongeBob Mac and cheese. 😁
This looks good and all but I don't have any money for these white people cheeses lmfaoo. Rich ass first world problems😂😂🤣
