Amatriciana Pasta

Ingredients

Spaghetti - 14.1 oz
Tomatoes - 35.3 oz
Semi-Smoked Sausage - 10.6 oz
Onion - 1 head
Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the bacon into small cubes. Peel the tomatoes. Dice the tomatoes into small cubes, about the same size as the bacon. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and sauté the bacon for 3–4 minutes over medium heat. Then add the finely chopped onion to the bacon and sauté together for another couple of minutes.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti al dente — that is, remove it a little earlier than fully cooked and drain it in a colander.

Step 3

When the onion and bacon are well sautéed, add the diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes. I prefer to add regular ground black pepper and a little, just a pinch, of dried basil, but these are my personal preferences; you can add your favorite spices.

Step 4

Add the spaghetti to the pan, mix well, heat on low for 1–2 minutes, and remove from heat. Serve hot. I sometimes sprinkle with grated cheese or fresh herbs.
