Here is a ‘make do recipe’ because I had some bacon left over in the fridge. The original recipe calls for Bucatini pasta and guanciale but I only had spaghetti in the store room and the bacon in the fridge. This recipe is straight from the mamma of my very close friend in Rome.
Ingredients -
1 packet of Spaghetti (or Bucatini)
1 small salad onion (or any mild onion)
Half cup white wine
250gr packet of bacon (or guanciale)
2 cans of peeled tomatoes (or Mutti polpa)
1 of the cans of tomato filled with water (rinse your cans and add to sauce)
Pecorino Romano grated (to have on top after served - if you like it)
Watch the video for the method below. Once the sauce has simmered and reduced back to a nice thickness it’s ready.
