^ Thanks for the gist, adi! Luckily, they have guanciale in our neighborhood Italian deli. I
try to be an ovo-lacto vegetarian but occasionally fall off the wagon. I may intentionally lapse and make amatriciana soon - it's too tempting! I'll let you know how it turns out - thanks again!
Cool that you were able to find the scamorza in KL. Hope you enjoy if you're able to make the aubergine/eggplant towers this weekend.
