AMATRICIANA SAUCE | PASTA AMATRICIANA RECIPE

Steps:

• cut guanciale into strips. Then place the red pepper in the frying pan and add the guanciale.
• Sauté the guanciale, turning it often with a wooden spoon, until the white fat part has become transparent and golden (about 5 min). Now is the time to add the white wine (optional). Keep the high heat and let it evaporate.
• Add peeled tomatoes with their sauce, stir, then cook Amatriciana sauce for 10 minutes on medium heat. Add fine salt to taste.

PASTA AMATRICIANA

Steps:

• Make sure to have a pot of boiling salted water for pasta going before starting this dish. You will not cook the pasta all the way as you will finish it in the pan with the sauce.
• Drop the pasta into the boiling water to start the cooking process.
• Meanwhile, in a saute pan heat some oil over high heat and add the pancetta. Saute until the pancetta is rendered (most of the fat melts away), and then turn the heat down to medium. Pancetta should look like crispy bacon. Add the onions and stir constantly making sure the onions do not burn. Once the onions are soft and cooked through, add the red sauce. Cook for 1 minute, and then add the cheese and pepper flakes, stirring to incorporate.
• Turn off the heat on the sauce and add the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce. Turn the heat back on to low and toss the pasta constantly so that the sauce will stick to the pasta (the sauce should be thick and shouldn't create a pool on the plate). Transfer the pasta and sauce to a bowl and sprinkle more cheese on top to serve.
