Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

14 ounces penne pasta
olive oil
1 1/3 lbs smoked pancetta, sliced into matchstick sized pieces
4 red onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried chili, flakes
1/2 cup red wine
1 (14 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 sprig rosemary, leaves chopped
12 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Heat a splash of olive oil in a pan and fry the pancetta for 4-5 minutes until crisp. Add the onions and lightly fry until soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in the chili and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
  • Pour in the wine and turn up the heat to high, cooking until the alcohol has evaporated. Stir, then add the chopped tomatoes and rosemary.
  • Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for 2 hours 30 minutes, until thick and fairly dry.
  • Cook the penne in boiling salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Stir in 8 tbs of the parmesan into the sauce and cook for 1 more minute, then mix with the pasta and season with black pepper. Serve on plates and scatter over the rest of parmesan.
