Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 pound pancetta in 1 piece, partially frozen
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
Scant 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3/4 cup tomato puree
3/4 pound spaghetti or bucatini
Freshly grated Parmesan (recommended: Pecorino Romano)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, unroll the pancetta. Cut it into 1-inch long chunks, and then slice each chunk thinly across the grain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderately low heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it renders some of its fat, about 5 minutes. Do not allow it to crisp. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. While the onion is cooking, add the pasta to the boiling water.
  • Add the red pepper flakes and parsley to the onion mixture and cook briefly to release their fragrance. Add the vinegar and simmer briefly until it evaporates, then add the tomato puree and 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Simmer briefly to blend.
  • When the pasta is just shy of al dente, drain it and return it to the warm pot over moderate heat. Add the sauce and cook briefly so the pasta absorbs some of the sauce, then transfer the pasta to a warmed serving bowl and shower with the pecorino. Serve immediately.

This is my favorite spaghetti alla matriciana recipe! It's easy to make and it always turns out delicious. I love the smoky flavor of the guanciale and the creamy texture of the pecorino cheese.

I'm not a big fan of guanciale, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The sauce was delicious and the guanciale wasn't as overpowering as I thought it would be.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too watery and the guanciale was tough. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

I thought this dish was just okay. The guanciale was a bit too fatty for my taste and the sauce was a bit bland. I probably won't be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover guanciale. I also like to add a bit of red pepper flakes for a little extra spice.
