PASTA alla GRICIA is a fairly old preparation that uses ingredients typically found in the mountainous zone of the regions of Lazio and Abruzzo: guanciale, or pork jowl, and pecorino cheese.
The name of the dish probably comes from the term that the Romans used to refer to the people living in the Apennine mountains, or “grici.”
