Bucatini with Tomatoes, Pancetta, and Hot Pepper image

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces sliced Italian bacon (pancetta), about 1/8 inch thick, chopped into tiny bits
1 medium onion, finely chopped
pinch of crushed red pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (28-ounce) can imported Italian peeled tomato, drained and chopped
salt
1 pound bucatini, perciatelli, or penne pasta
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • 1 Pour the oil into a skillet large enough to hold all of the cooked pasta. Add the pancetta, onion, and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat, until the pancetta and onion are golden, about 12 minutes. 2 Add the wine and bring to a simmer. 3 Stir in the tomatoes and salt to taste. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 25 minutes. 4 Bring at least 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, then the pasta. Stir well. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente, tender yet still firm to the bite. Set aside some of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. 5 Pour the pasta into the pan with the sauce. Toss the pasta and sauce together over high heat about 1 minute, or until the pasta is coated. Add a little cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Remove from the heat. Add the cheese and toss well. Serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, so I used a different type of sauce. I used a pesto sauce and it was delicious. I think this recipe would be great with any type of sauce.

I didn't have any pancetta on hand, so I used bacon instead. It turned out great! I think the bacon added a nice smokiness to the dish.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for. Next time I'll use a milder pepper.
