Pasta Amatriciana

Recipe #39630 | 45 min | 15 min prep | add private note

My version of a favorite restaurant dish. The sauce is very flexible--you can vary the amounts of garlic, wine and red pepper flakes to suit your tastes. This sauce has a great smoky, bacony flavor and makes a wonderful meal served with pasta, a salad and fresh, crusty bread.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place enough olive oil in a large sauce pan to cover the bottom and heat over medium flame.
  2. 2
    Place onions, garlic and bacon in pan and saute for about 5 minutes or until bacon is cooked through.
  3. 3
    Add wine and bring to a boil for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. 4
    Add tomatoes and then fill the empty tomato can about halfway with water and add to pan.
  5. 5
    Add as much or as little red pepper flakes as you like.
  6. 6
    Simmer over low heat for about 1/2 hour.
  7. 7
    Serve with penne pasta (or pasta of your choice).

This was absolutely delicious - possibly the best plate of pasta I've had in a while! I used pancetta rather than bacon, and as I didn't have any chilli flakes, I went with chilli powder, but oh my, was it amazing!! My husband and I both loved it and I will no doubt make it again very soon!

    Great Recipe. I sometimes like to use either pancetta or guanciale instead of normal bacon, but either works well. In addition, you can use a nice red instead of the white wine for a different flavor.

    Wonderful! Simple quick easy and fresh. A small handful of chopped basil added a sunny flavor to the sauce and some color too. I simmered this uncovered to make the taste a little more dense and it was delicious. Freshly grated parmesean topped off this light sauce beautifully- thanks for sharing this!
