PASTA AMATRICIANA

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 1 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt
5 ounces pasta (bucatini, linguini or tagliatelle work well)
Extra-virgin olive oil, to coat pan
2 ounces diced pancetta (thick-cut regular bacon will work as well)
1 ounce diced red onion
5 ounces red sauce (see Cook's Note, below)
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano and pecorino cheeses, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano and pecorino cheeses, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Make sure to have a pot of boiling salted water for pasta going before starting this dish. You will not cook the pasta all the way as you will finish it in the pan with the sauce.
  • Drop the pasta into the boiling water to start the cooking process.
  • Meanwhile, in a saute pan heat some oil over high heat and add the pancetta. Saute until the pancetta is rendered (most of the fat melts away), and then turn the heat down to medium. Pancetta should look like crispy bacon. Add the onions and stir constantly making sure the onions do not burn. Once the onions are soft and cooked through, add the red sauce. Cook for 1 minute, and then add the cheese and pepper flakes, stirring to incorporate.
  • Turn off the heat on the sauce and add the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce. Turn the heat back on to low and toss the pasta constantly so that the sauce will stick to the pasta (the sauce should be thick and shouldn't create a pool on the plate). Transfer the pasta and sauce to a bowl and sprinkle more cheese on top to serve.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces pork cheeks
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces rigatoni pasta
3 tablespoons dry white wine
1 ½ cups fresh tomato sauce
freshly ground black pepper to taste
kosher salt to taste
1 ½ ounces finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Cut guanciale into 1-inch by 1/8-inch strips.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add guanciale and cook until well browned and fully rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl. Leave all fat in the pan.
  • Start pasta: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until not quite done, about 10 minutes. You want it undercooked by at least 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  • At the same time, add wine to the guanciale fat in the saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce and pepper; bring to a simmer.
  • Transfer the almost fully-cooked pasta into the sauce using a slotted spoon; it's okay if some water gets in the sauce. Add guanciale and stir to combine. Season with salt. Cook and stir until pasta absorbs the sauce and finishes cooking, and the sauce thickens up, about 3 minutes. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of the pasta water.
  • Turn off the heat and add some of the Pecorino cheese. Stir until melted, then repeat until all cheese has been added.
  • Ladle into 2 bowls and serve.

PASTA AMATRICIANA



Pasta Amatriciana image

Pasta amatriciana is a traditional Italian dish that features a sauce of guanciale (salt-cured pork jowl), tomato, pecorino romano and chiles. Some variations include onion and white wine. The final product tastes much more complex than the ingredient list would suggest: This simple pantry meal delivers deep flavors, as the bright, tangy tomato base balances the rich pork, and a mix of dried peppers adds layers of subtle heat. Guanciale can be found in Italian specialty shops or online, but pancetta is a good alternative. Bucatini is a thicker pasta with a hollow center that captures the thick sauce, but spaghetti delivers equally tasty results.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces guanciale or pancetta, chopped into ¼-inch cubes (3/4 cup)
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, crushed with your hands in a bowl
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 pound dried bucatini
3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add guanciale and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. To the skillet, add tomatoes, black pepper and red-pepper flakes, and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and smashing tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon, until tomatoes have broken down and sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until just shy of al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and drain.
  • Add pasta, tomato sauce and ½ cup of pasta cooking water back to the large pasta pot and stir vigorously over medium-high heat until pasta is evenly coated in the sauce, about 1 minute. (Add more pasta water if sauce is dry.) Remove from heat, stir in the cheese and season to taste with salt.
  • Divide pasta among bowls and garnish with more cheese and black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh tomatoes, guanciale or pancetta, and Pecorino Romano cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the guanciale or pancetta. This will prevent it from getting crispy.
  • Cook the pasta al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. This will help the pasta absorb the flavor of the sauce.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with grated Pecorino Romano cheese and a sprinkling of fresh basil.

Conclusion:

Pasta Amatriciana is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. With its smoky guanciale or pancetta, tangy tomatoes, and creamy Pecorino Romano cheese, Pasta Amatriciana is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pasta dish to try, give Pasta Amatriciana a try. You won't be disappointed!
