Bucatini pasta with authentic Amatriciana sauce, crispy guanciale. Perfect Italian dish for two.
Ingredients:
  • 5 ounces bucatini pasta
  • 3 crushed garlic cloves
  • 1.5 ounces guanciale (cured pork cheek), sliced
  • 0.25 cup sliced red onion
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 (8 ounce) can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 ounce freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions:
  • 1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a vigorous boil. Add bucatini and bring back to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until bucatini is tender, about 11 minutes. Drain the pasta.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil and sauté garlic until golden brown for about 1 minute. Remove garlic, then add guanciale and cook until crispy and golden for about 4 minutes. Next, stir in onion and red pepper flakes and cook until onion is translucent for about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, and black pepper and simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  • Combine the bucatini and Pecorino Romano cheese with the tomato sauce, ensuring everything is well mixed and coated.
