Spicy Penne Amatriciana

This is gorgeously simple and such a crowd pleaser! Basically a really good tomato sauce with crispy pancetta or guanciale. A handful of ingredients and you’re done!

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Add 130g diced guanciale to a large non-stick frying pan and set over a medium heat. Dry fry for 4-5 minutes, agitating the pan every now and then, until the fat has rendered out and it is crispy all over. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon (leaving the fat behind) and place into a bowl. Set aside.

Notes

Make it vegetarian: you can easily make this vegetarian by skipping out the guanciale and using a vegetarian-friendly Parmesan-style hard cheese.

Tomatoes: you want to use the best quality tinned tomatoes you can find. I really rate mutti.

Variations: You can add some chopped chilli in with the onions, or snip in some anchovies. A little handful of baby capers is also very nice. Add more garlic, or less depending on your taste. Add a squeeze of tomato puree. Add some black olives in at the end. Use a sprinkling of dried oregano when you sweat the onions. Sprinkle with dried chilli at the end.

Serving suggestions: this is a delicious, comforting meal all on its own. However, it is also lovely with garlic bread to mop up all the wonderful sauce and/or a fresh salad on the side.

What to do with leftovers: Transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge for 3 days. To reheat, use a large saucepan or deep-sided frying pan and gently heat through over a low-medium heat until piping hot. Or place in the microwave until piping hot.
