Vegan Pasta Amatriciana

Recipe #123994 | 40 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 2 -4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Vegan Courtney

This is a vegan version of a classic Italian dish traditionally made with guanciale or pancetta. It's really, really tasty, and you can make the sauce or just buy some and add to it. The sauce should be very spicy. Enjoy this one with a nice red wine.

    This was absolutely delicious! I chopped up an onion (it needed to be used up...), and satueed it on medium heat for about 10 minutes until it was sweet. I then proceeded with the recipe. Wonderful! I loved the spice and might make it a bit spicier next time. Of course, I will absolutely make it again

    This recipe was quite easy, which was wonderful. I didn't taste it because it was WAYYY too spicy for me, but my boyfriend loved it. He's crazy about spicy foods, and he had finally met his match. I think next time I will add less bacon and less red pepper so I can enjoy it as well. =]
