Best Amatriciana Pasta Recipes

PASTA AMATRICIANA

Steps:

• Make sure to have a pot of boiling salted water for pasta going before starting this dish. You will not cook the pasta all the way as you will finish it in the pan with the sauce.
• Drop the pasta into the boiling water to start the cooking process.
• Meanwhile, in a saute pan heat some oil over high heat and add the pancetta. Saute until the pancetta is rendered (most of the fat melts away), and then turn the heat down to medium. Pancetta should look like crispy bacon. Add the onions and stir constantly making sure the onions do not burn. Once the onions are soft and cooked through, add the red sauce. Cook for 1 minute, and then add the cheese and pepper flakes, stirring to incorporate.
• Turn off the heat on the sauce and add the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce. Turn the heat back on to low and toss the pasta constantly so that the sauce will stick to the pasta (the sauce should be thick and shouldn't create a pool on the plate). Transfer the pasta and sauce to a bowl and sprinkle more cheese on top to serve.

• Add the chopped tomatoes and sugar and leave the sauce to thicken on a low to medium heat for 15-20mins.

Cook and stir until pasta absorbs the sauce and finishes cooking, and the sauce thickens up, about 3 minutes. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of the pasta water.
• Turn off the heat and add some of the Pecorino cheese. Stir until melted, then repeat until all cheese has been added.
• Ladle into 2 bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• While waiting for the water to boil, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the guanciale and cook slowly, stirring occasionally and letting the fat render, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove the guanciale with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate, leaving the fat in the skillet. Add the dried herbs to the skillet and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the can of tomatoes, smash the whole tomatoes with a wooden spoon, and increase the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, while you boil the pasta.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook 2 minutes less than the package directions. Using tongs, transfer the pasta to the sauce. (Don't worry about shaking off the water beforehand; the water is nice and starchy and will help the dish come together.) Stir the pasta and the sauce together, adding a little pasta water, if needed, to thin the sauce.
• Reserve 2 teaspoons of the cooked guanciale. Add the remaining cooked guanciale, half of the pecorino and some pepper. Stir and cook until the pasta is barely tender and the sauce has a nice sheen to it, about 2 minutes. Plate the pasta and garnish with the remaining pecorino and reserved 2 teaspoons of guanciale.

• If using, add wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to gather any browned bits until wine is nearly all evaporated, about 3 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Add black pepper; reduce heat to low and simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.
• While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Boil pasta until just shy of al dente (1-2 minutes less than the package recommends).

• Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

AMATRICIANA PASTA

Steps:

• Place the guanciale in a 1-quart saucepot with 2 tablespoons of the oil and render the fat out on low heat (you don't want too much heat, or you'll scorch the guanciale), 15 to 20 minutes. When the fat is rendered out, place the guanciale on paper towels, reserve the fat and put aside.
• If your tomato sauce isn't silky smooth, put it in a blender for about a minute. Add 2 tablespoons of the guanciale fat, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the garlic to an 8-inch saute pan. Heat it over medium-high heat to infuse the oil with garlic flavor, about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the pasta water with salt and add the pasta. Cook it for 80 percent of the way (if the directions say boil for 10 minutes, boil for 8 minutes, as you will finish cooking it in the sauce).
• Add the tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water and red pepper flakes. Remove the garlic and add a pinch of salt. Reduce for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the pasta (once it's ready) and half of the guanciale. Toss and stir for about 2 minutes (the sauce should reduce a little and the pasta should be al dente). Toss to combine and cook to bring the flavors together, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and finely grate about 1/4 cup cheese over top.
• Place the pasta onto plates. Place the remainder of the crispy guanciale on top as garnish, more cheese if necessary and a drizzle of oil. Serve immediately.
