Bucatini Amatriciana
Report
Bucatini Amatriciana is a classic Roman pasta made with tomatoes, guanciale, white wine, red chili flakes, and Pecorino Romano. Our version uses the more accessible pancetta in place of the guanciale.

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
- Heat a large pan to medium and saute the pancetta in the extra virgin olive oil for 7-8 minutes or until most of the fat has been rendered. Remove about half of the pancetta to a plate and set aside.
- Next, add the crushed red pepper to the pan and saute for 30 seconds. Add the white wine and cook until reduced by about half.
- Cook pasta to 1 minute less than al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
- Next, add the crushed tomatoes to the pan and cook on medium until they start to bubble. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let the sauce cook uncovered while boiling the pasta.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and cook until the pasta reaches al dente (about 1 minute). Stir well and make sure the pasta is absorbing the sauce.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Pecorino. Add a touch more pasta water if too dry. Serve in bowls, topping with the reserved crispy pancetta and offer more Pecorino. Enjoy!
Notes
- Traditionally, Amatriciana is made with guanciale but pancetta is used in this recipe as guanciale can be hard to find.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
