New York Times Amatriciana recipe controversy

Overview

The New York Times published a recipe for ‘Pasta Amatriciana... But With Smoky Chorizo’, created by food writer Kevin Pang. The recipe substitutes traditional Italian guanciale with Spanish chorizo, a choice Pang attributed to the difficulty of sourcing high-quality guanciale in the United States for a budget-focused project.

The publication of the recipe has triggered a culinary debate. Critics and enthusiasts of Italian gastronomic heritage argue that the substitution of guanciale with garlic and pimentón-flavored chorizo fundamentally alters the identity of the dish. Opponents suggest that the recipe should not bear the name ‘Amatriciana’ if it does not adhere to traditional culinary standards.
