How to make it
- Heat oil in large pot or frying pan;
- Add pancetta and fry gently for 4 or so minutes until brown but not crisp;
- Add onions, garlic and fry gently stirring for 1 min;
- Add carrot, peppers and celery and continue frying for further 3 minutes or so, stirring occasionally until veggies have softened a bit;
- Add spice mix and, stirring often for 1 minute, combine well with veg mixture;
- Add wine, turn up heat and reduce by half;
- When wine reduced, add puree, stirring in quickly to avoid burning;
- Add tomatoes and chillies, stir well to break down tomatoes and bring to boil;
- Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for a mínimum of an hour or so or until sauce thickens to the consistency and intense flavour desired;
- Cook and drain pasta of choice - I prefer large tubes - pour into sauce and add cheese;
- Mix well together and serve in bowls with crusty bread on the side
