Roman dish with pine nuts, basil, pancetta, and chili - bursting with bold flavors by Katie Quinn Davies.
Ingredients:
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 250g pancetta, chopped
  • 2 small red chillies, seeds removed, finely chopped
  • Large handful basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 40.00 ml pine nuts
  • 60ml white wine
  • 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
  • 400g bucatini or spaghetti
  • Finely grated parmesan, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large frypan over medium heat, warm the oil. Sauté the onion for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Stir in the pancetta and cook for 8-10 minutes until almost golden and crispy.
  • Combine chili, basil, and pine nuts in the pan, mixing well. Pour in the white wine, deglazing the pan. Add the tomato, season, and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld, stirring occasionally. Add water if needed to adjust sauce consistency.
  • Cook pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and return to the pot. Add the sauce and mix well.
  • Serve the pasta evenly among 4 bowls and top each with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
