PENNE AMATRICIANA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the pancetta or bacon and saute over medium heat until the pancetta is beginning to turn golden. Add the onion and cook over low heat about 10 minutes, until it is very soft.
• While the onion is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• When the onion is soft, stir in the garlic, tomatoes and chili, increase heat to medium and allow to cook, stirring from time to time, until the tomatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
• While the tomatoes are cooking add the penne to the boiling water, stir and cook for eight minutes. Drain thoroughly.
• Season tomato sauce to taste, add penne and parsley to skillet, stir and cook a minute or two longer so ingredients thoroughly intermingle, then serve with grated Parmesan.

PENNE AMATRICIANA

Steps:

• Heat a splash of olive oil in a pan and fry the pancetta for 4-5 minutes until crisp. Add the onions and lightly fry until soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in the chili and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
• Pour in the wine and turn up the heat to high, cooking until the alcohol has evaporated. Stir, then add the chopped tomatoes and rosemary.
• Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for 2 hours 30 minutes, until thick and fairly dry.
• Cook the penne in boiling salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Stir in 8 tbs of the parmesan into the sauce and cook for 1 more minute, then mix with the pasta and season with black pepper. Serve on plates and scatter over the rest of parmesan.

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.
