The oldest pasta from Rome is known as the Roman Fantastic Quartet. Not without reason: it’s easy to make and requires just 3 ingredients. Discover the Pasta alla Gricia and be amazed.
Although Pasta alla Gricia is the oldest, it is the least globally recognized of the so-called “Roman Fantastic Quartet”: the four most famous pasta dishes from Rome – Carbonara, Matriciana, Alla Gricia, and Cacio e Pepe.
It’s also the simplest to make and, in my humble opinion, the most delicious. I tasted it in the Testaccio neighborhood of Rome, a bohemian area brimming with traditional restaurants that offer fair prices and good food.
