I rarely see the cherry tomatoes canned, but can get the romas in many places. They are consistently outstanding and will beat all but the freshest local heirloom picked at the height of ripeness. Once that short seasonal window has closed, its San Marzanos all the way. I couldn’t agree with you more about the San Marzano tomatoes.

YAY!) everyone in your recipe to NOT discard the guanciale fat. That's exactly the same thing I put when we did this dish on the blog - the extra fat is what really flavors this dish and makes it extra porky. i'll never forget the first time I ate this in rome in the jewish ghetto. jonny ordered it and I kept tasting it - and tasting and tasting. i couldn't place the flavor and why a simple red sauce was soooo good. i had never tasted bacon or pancetta in the us that tasted like that. what i didn't realize was that guanciale existed and that it is unbelievably flavorful and delicious. we had smuggled a small chunk of guanciale into JFK airport so we could make it at home but now you can actually buy it quite easily in nyc. i'm SO happy to see that. also, burrata is everywhere now - another thing i was dying to eat the second i got back from italy 4 years ago. i've droned on... your website is the first comment i've made in a LONG time. it's like i've been stuck in a cave and now have someone to talk to! ah.. this is why I love you – you told (and scolded!
