Spaghetti Al Amatraciana Recipe

  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced pancetta bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 pound uncooked spaghetti
  • salt and pepper to taste
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, onion and red pepper flakes until onion is tender but not browned.
  2. Stir in the tomatoes and wine; simmer for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  3. Add pasta to the sauce and toss well; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more (this will infuse the pasta with the sauce). Add salt and black ground pepper to taste; serve.
