Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Cut the bacon into thin strips and fry until golden brown.
Step 3
Sauté the bacon until golden brown. Add black pepper and chili, and mix well.
Step 4
Finely chop the onion and garlic, and combine them with the bacon (or pancetta, as they do in Rome). Sauté, stirring constantly, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Step 5
Add the tomatoes to the skillet and mash them with a spatula.

Step 8
Remove from heat 2 minutes before the time indicated on the package, drain in a colander, reserving a cup of the pasta water.

Serve the pasta topped with Parmesan cheese or another hard cheese.
