Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 28-ounces cans whole peeled tomatoes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 ounces guanciale (salt-cured pork jowl), finely chopped
4 ounces pancetta (Italian bacon), finely chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 pound penne or other tube-shaped pasta
Finely grated Pecorino or Parmesan
ingredient info: Guanciale is available at specialty foods stores and online sources.

Steps:

  • Purée tomatoes with juices in a blender; set aside. Cook onion, guanciale, pancetta, oil, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 cup water in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated and fat begins to render, 8-10 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring often, until reduced by half, 5-8 minutes.
  • Add reserved tomato purée and bring to a boil. Cover pan partially with a lid, reduce heat, and simmer until meat is tender and flavors are melded, 40-45 minutes. Add sugar, if using; season with salt and pepper.
  • When sauce is almost done, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain pasta.
  • Add pasta to sauce and toss to coat. Serve topped with Pecorino.
  • DO AHEAD: Sauce can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool, then chill until cold. Cover and keep chilled.

I'm allergic to tomatoes. Is there a way to make this dish without them?

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to try it. I'm not a big fan of spicy food.

I'm not sure if I have all of the ingredients for this recipe. I'll have to check my pantry before I can make it.

I'm not sure where I would find guanciale. Is there a substitute I could use?

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I prefer simpler pasta dishes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pasta turned out dry and bland. I think I might have used too much water when cooking the pasta.

This dish is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili pepper flakes if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a huge fan of guanciale, so I used pancetta instead. It turned out great!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover guanciale. It's also a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I love the smokiness of the guanciale in this dish. It really adds a depth of flavor.

Pasta alla Matriciana is a classic Italian dish that is simple to make but packed with flavor. The combination of guanciale, tomatoes, and Pecorino Romano cheese is a winner.
