100
g
of guanciale cut into small chunks
(or smoked pancetta)
1-2
tbsp
Monini Extra Virgin Olive Oil
400
g
tin Mutti Peeled Tomatoes
75
ml
of dry white wine
1-2
chillies
75
g
of pecorino cheese
Method
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
Heat a large skillet and add 1 tbsp of oil, add the guanciale and chilli and cook over medium low heat for 2-3 minutes or until the fat has rendered out and the pork is caramelized.
De-glaze the pan with the wine and cook out the alcohol (1 minute or so). Add the tomatoes, break them up with a fork and cook over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes.
When the water is boing add the bucatini and stir well. Cook to a a few minutes short of “al dente”, strain with a slotted fork or using tongs straight into the sauce, dragging along some pasta cooking water.
Cook in the sauce for 1 minute, then turn the heat off, sprinkle with pecorino and serve hot.
