It has become an international dish by now, and there are several recipes about it which indifferently come from the neighbourhood of Amatrice. Take an iron pan and pour out some olive oil, bacon, tomatoes, one or two cloves of squashed garlic, salt, pepper and chili; all these ingredients are put as raw. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, strain it underdone and pour it into the sauce pan. Go on with cooking it for some minutes always mixing. Take off from the fire, pour the pasta into the pan and sprinkle with aboundant grated pecorino cheese. Serve it absolutely hot. According to other recipes you should put onions instead of garlic or them both, according to some others; whereas their proceeding is exactly the same.
