The recipe for Gricia (Pasta alla Gricia) is one of the oldest and simplest pasta recipes in Roman cuisine. It’s a great classic of Lazio cuisine and has a unique and surprising flavor.It’s the traditional dish of the Amatrice area. In fact some call it “Amatriciana Bianca” (White Amatriciana). This is because it shares all the ingredients with pasta all’amatriciana except the tomato.
