I'm actually making Pasta alla Gricia tonight. I found some guanciale at a small local market, so I'm super excited about cooking that for the first time.

That's awesome! I just found a store near me that sells guanciale, I've only ever used pancetta for my carbonara but would love to try the REALLY authentic way. Looking into Gricia, it basically looks like a carbonara minus the eggs unless I'm missing something right? Sounds interesting and delish!

Doesn't get more authentic than the Pasta Grannies Even my Italian CDP from Como says he learns new things from every video. Think there's a book out now as well.

Looks like Pasta Grannies is getting a new sub since you are the second person to point to them :) I spend way too many hours watching crap on YouTube so I'll definitely make it a point to hit them up.

The youtube channel Italia Squisita is great source of Italian recipes, you'll need to turn subtitles on.

Awesome, thank you! I'll see if I can remember my high school Italian while watching but probably lean more towards the subtitles hahah

There are about a billion, but one good place to start is to watch "Pasta Grannies" on youtube or get one of Marcella Hazan's cookbooks.
EDIT: what comes immediately to mind for me are: pesto, nerano, al' arrabiata, puttanesca, various bottarga sauces
I've actually been meaning to try Marcella Hazan's classic tomato sauce, but I read some crazy varying reviews, people either LOVE it or HATE it. I'm guessing that probably has to do with the quality of tomatoes used since it's such a simple recipe.
But thank you so much for all those other suggestions, I'm definitely going to do some research into the few I haven't heard of and get cooking :)
