Pasta All amatriciana

Adapted from The Italian Cooking Encyclopedia, one of those oversized books I picked up on one of the perpetually on sale shelves at Barnes and Noble (check those out, by the way — there are often great cookbooks with great recipes there). Read more This is not only easy and delicious, but it uses ingredients that are often on hand. Like I said, really delicious, and a great alternative to whatever warhorse Italian sauces you have in your repertoire. The original is for spaghetti, and perhaps that's traditional. Because this is rather a thin sauce, I'd serve it with a pasta that holds more sauce, like rotini. See less
Ingredients
- 1 lb. spaghetti shopping list
- 2 T. olive oil shopping list
- 1 onion, diced shopping list
- 6 oz. bacon shopping list
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped shopping list
- 1/2 t. ground black pepper shopping list
- salt (you might not need any) shopping list
- 1/2 t. dried thyme shopping list
- 1/2 c. dry white wine shopping list
- 1 15-oz can tomato sauce shopping list
- 1 15-oz can diced tomatoes, drained shopping list
- grated parmagiano shopping list
How to make it
- Separate the bacon strips, then stack them (if you don’t separate them first, they’ll all want to stick together in big globs), three at a time. Cut into matchsticks.
- Heat a large sauce pan over high heat until quite hot, and add the olive oil. Add the onion and bacon, reduce the heat to medium low, stir well, and cook, stirring from time to time, until the onion is transparent and the bacon is done. Add the garlic, cook for a couple of minutes, then add the seasonings (don’t salt until it’s done), and the white wine. Turn the heat high, and stirring constantly, cook until the wine has evaporated. Add the tomatoes and sauce, turn the heat down to medium, and cook for about thirty minutes, until it has reduced. Taste, and salt, if necessary (you probably won’t need any).
- Mix with the (cooked) spaghetti, dress with the cheese, and serve.
