Traditional Spaghetti all'Amatriciana image

This classic Roman pasta dish is quick and easy to make with few ingredients. Traditionally, guanciale is used, but I prefer pancetta.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound spaghetti
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, or more if needed
1 onion, finely chopped
7 ounces pancetta bacon, diced
2 cups passata (crushed tomatoes)
1 tablespoon water, or more as needed
½ teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in passata, water, and sugar; cook until sauce has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes
  • Drain spaghetti and toss with sauce, remaining olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
