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.

PASTA AMATRICIANA
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.

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, such as San Marzano tomatoes, Pecorino Romano cheese, and guanciale or pancetta.
- If you don't have guanciale or pancetta, you can use bacon, but it will have a different flavor.
- Cook the guanciale or pancetta until it is crispy, but not burnt.
- Add the tomatoes and cook them until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Use a good quality pasta, such as penne, rigatoni, or spaghetti.
- Cook the pasta al dente, according to the package directions.
- Reserve some of the pasta cooking water to add to the sauce if it becomes too thick.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
- Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper.
Conclusion:
Penne all'amatriciana is a classic Italian pasta dish that is easy to make and delicious. It is a great weeknight meal that can be made in under 30 minutes.
