Clove, I have an Italian Meat Market/Deli down the street from me. They have guanciale, but I've never seen a recipe for it. In addition to "Bucatini All'Amatriciana" (the spelling on my pasta says "Bocatini"), would guanciale be a good substitute for pancetta in "Pasta Carbonara"?

I use pancetta on a regular basis, Carbonara being everyone's favorite. I rarely use bacon, as it adds to much "smoke" to the flavor.

Clove...thanks for such informative and educational posts...I have a feeling you'd make a great TV Chef!
