Bucatini Amatriciana
A delicious and easy to make tomato-based pasta sauce with some spice!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 oz Pancetta diced into small cubes; or use guanciale
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes use less based on spice preference
- 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1/3 cup White Wine dry
- 28 oz San Marzano Whole Peeled Tomatoes crushed by hand or with a potato masher
- 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano freshly grated; Pecorino Romano is traditional but use what you prefer; additional to serve
- 1 lb Bucatini you can also use another long pasta shape of choice
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper to taste
- Fresh Basil optional to serve
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large high-rimmed sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add diced pancetta and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the tomato paste, stir to combine, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring often, for another minute.
- Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 3 minutes or until most of the wine is absorbed.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook while you make the pasta.
- In a large pot, cook the pasta about 1 minute less than package instructions in boiling salted water. Use tongs to directly transfer over the cooked pasta to the sauce. It's okay if some of the pasta water comes with it. Stir rapidly to coat the pasta with sauce. Add another few splashes of pasta water as needed to thin out the sauce combine everything well.
- Turn off the heat and add the freshly grated cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately with additional cheese and fresh basil as desired.
