Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (35 ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes (San Marzano)
salt
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced thin (abou 2 cups)
6 ounces pancetta, sliced 1/4 inch thick, cut into 1 1/2 inch julienne strips
2 whole dried red peperoncino hot red peppers (or 1/2 t. crushed hot red pepper)
1 lb bucatini pasta or 1 lb perciatelli
1 cup grated pecorino romano cheese, plus more for passing

Steps:

  • Pass the tomatoes and their liquid through a food mill fitted with the fine disc; set aside.
  • Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over med-high heat; add in onion; cook/stir until wilted, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the pancetta; cook 2 minutes.
  • Add in the hot red peppers and the tomatoes; bring to a boil.
  • Adjust the heat to a simmer and season lightly with salt; cook/stir occasionally until the sauce is thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir the bucatini into the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until done, about 12 minutes.
  • Check the seasoning of the sauce, adding salt if necessary (remember the Pecorino is mildly salty).
  • Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water; drain pasta, return it to the pot, and pour in half the sauce.
  • Bring the sauce and pasta to a boil and drizzle in the remaining 3 tablespoons oil.
  • Add some of the pasta cooking water, if necessary, to make enough sauce to coat the pasta lightly.
  • Check seasoning again and add salt if necessary.
  • Remove pan from heat; stir in 1 cup grated cheese, and transfer to a large heated serving platter or bowl.
  • Spoon the remaining sauce over the top and pass additional grated cheese separately, if desired.
