Ingredients
- 7-8 fresh San Marzano or Roma tomatoes (or ripe tomatoes of choice)
- 3-4 cups cooked pasta ( bucatini, spaghetti, penne or rigatoni )
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (40 grams)
- ½ cup chopped pancetta or guanciale (100 grams)
- 1-2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 1-3 pinches salt (depending on how salty the pancetta or guanciale is)
- 1-2 pinches hot pepper flakes (optional)
- 5-7 fresh basil leaves chopped (divided)
EXTRAS
- 2-3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan/parmigiano cheese
Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes and place in a large bowl, cover them with boiling water and let sit for approximately 10-15 minutes, drain (should be easy to remove the skin, (hold the tomato with a fork and remove skin with a knife) be careful because it is very hot), slice tomato in half and remove insides and seeds, chop into large pieces.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water and cook the pasta al dente.
- While water is boiling and pasta is cooking make the sauce - In a large frying pan or skillet add the olive oil and chopped pancetta, let cook on low to medium heat until pancetta starts to brown, add the garlic, chopped tomatoes, oregano, dried basil, salt and hot pepper flakes stir to combine, let cook covered for approximately 10 minutes, add the chopped fresh basil and continue to cook uncovered until thickened.
- Gently toss with 3 cups of the drained cooked al dente pasta and 2-4 tablespoons of pasta water, cook on medium/high heat a minute or two, continually tossing or gently stirring, serve immediately. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Approximately 1 1/2 to 2 cups is equal to 3 cups cooked. One cup of uncooked pasta is equal to approximately 70 grams (I measured with mezze rigatoni).
- The sauce can be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for two days. It can also be frozen in a freezer safe bag or container. It will last up to three to four months.
