Spaghetti Amatriciana [100% italian]
Amatriciana is traditionally paired with Bucatini, which is a thick, hollow spaghetti-like pasta that catches the sauce wonderfully, but spaghetti or even penne can be used here instead. As with most regional dishes, every household has its own variation. Consider the addition of finely diced onion or chilli to your Amatriciana sauce, if you want to add an extra flavour dimension.

Directions
- To begin, slowly heat the diced guanciale (or bacon) with a tablespoon of olive oil over a medium-low heat.

- Add the tin of tomatoes (if using whole tomatoes, roughly chop them first)
- Cook down on a low heat for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Taste and add salt. Add a pinch of sugar if the sauce is too acidic.
- Cook the pasta in a pan of heavily salted boiling water as per packet instructions
- Once the pasta is al dente, drain and add it to the sauce, tossing to make sure the pasta is evenly coated
- Serve straight away with plenty of grated Pecorino Romano.
