MAKES 4-6 servings

- 1/4 Ib (125 g) guanciale or pancetta, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2 1/2 cups (15 oz/470 g) peeled, seeded, and chopped fresh or canned tomatoes
- Sea salt
- 1 lb (500 g) bucatini, spaghetti, or rigatoni
- 1/3 cup (11/2 oz/45 g) grated pecorino romano cheese, plus more for serving

Guanciale, pork cheek that resembles unsmoked bacon and is cured with salt,
pepper, and sometimes garlic, is traditionally used in this dish from Amatrice, a small town near Rome known for its excellent pork products. Pancetta, rolled pork belly cured in a similar manner and more widely available outside Italy, can be substituted. Tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chile complete the sauce, which is usually served over bucatini, a thick strand pasta with a hole in the center.

In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the guanciale in the olive oil, stirring often, unti! golden, about 10 minutes. Add the onion and sauté until tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute longer.
Pass the chopped tomatoes through a food mill fitted with the medium disk or a medium-mesh sieve directly into the pan. Add a pinch of salt, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot three-fourths full of water to a rolling boil and add about 2 tablespoons salt. Add the bucatini, stir well, and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, according to the package directions. Scoop out and reserve about 2 ladlefuls of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Return it to the pot.
Add the sauce to the drained pasta and stir and toss over low heat until well coated with the sauce, adjusting the consistency with some of the cooking water if needed. Sprinkle with the 1/3 cup cheese and toss again. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl and serve at once. Pass additional cheese at the table.

Buon appetito!
