Exploring the Origins of Gritcho Pasta
Gritcho pasta, also known as Greek-e-chuh, precedes carbonara as the OG shepherd's pasta. This traditional dish is made with pepper, pecorino, and guanciale, which is cured pork jowl. Unlike carbonara, Greek-e-chuh does not contain eggs and is tossed with pasta cooked in white wine. The guanciale in this dish is described as meaty with crispy edges, complemented by pecorino and whole peppercorns. Gritcho is considered an outstanding pasta dish, being one of the best in Italy, reflecting the origins of pastoral culinary traditions in the Italian countryside later migrating to urban cities.
