Spaghetti with Sun Dried Tomatoes Amatriciana
Overview
Amico Aldo, who's from Amatrice, a tiny town in the mountains bordering Abruzzo, about 100 miles from Rome, says this dish should be made with bucatini pasta, essentially spaghetti but wider and with a hole through the middle, where the sauce will collect. Either way, with bucatini, spaghetti, or penne and our Bella Sun Luci sun dried tomatoes, you'll love this dish with all of it's big flavor. Amatrice is actually a derivative of the word lover, from near Roma, where the word romance comes from. Try this dish at home and we're sure that you will love its unmatched flavor!
