I love this pasta shape, it’s like a thick spaghetti tube! When you find it buy a few boxes cause you are gonna love it! It’s great with all kinds of sauce but today’s recipe is from the town of, Amatrice Italy!

You will need

  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil.
  • 8 ounces pancetta sliced or you could use a thick cut bacon.
  • 1 onion cut in half then cut into thin slices.
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 garlic cloves sliced thin.
  • 1 can whole Italian plum tomatoes crushed by hand with all the juice.
  • 1 pound Bucatini pasta or a spaghetti.
  • Pecorino Romano cheese.

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta.
  2. In a large 12-13″ skillet on medium heat add the olive oil, pancetta, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté this for about 10 minutes.
  3. Drain the fat from the skillet then add the tomatoes and all the juice.
  4. Allow this to come to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer. Simmer this for 30 minutes on a low heat.
  5. While the sauce is simmering cook the pasta 2 minutes short of recommended time, strain and add directly to the sauce.
  6. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce for 2 minutes.
  7. I serve from the skillet and top with grated Romano and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

This is a very easy and very quick sauce to make you can have it done on the table in 40 min.
