I love spicy. I add pepper flakes to almost everything. Still: That’s a LOT of red pepper flakes.

Say you don't eat pork. What would you substitute for the meat (knowing nothing probably comes close to it but if you had to)?

I’d use more olive oil and simply not replace it with anything. It’s not giving smoky flavor and there isn’t enough of it to warrant a meat sub, in my opinion. Just make sure you compensate with more fat. Maybe a knob of butter?

Unrelated but i have a question. I got a link to gift 3 trials, but now the link says it is expired! Can you resend? Love this sub stack, and I want to share the wealth. Xoxo

I recently found a store where I can buy guanciale and I made pasta alla gricia and it was amazing. I prefer my pork well rendered and very crunchy haha - I am putting this on my list to make next!

I've always wondered if you can use gluten free pasta with these recipes that rely on a little pasta water to bring the sauce together?
