Authentic Amatriciana Kosher

Begin by slicing the Kosher facon, then dicing into small pieces. Add to a pan over medium heat and simmer with some water until the fat has melted.

While the facon is cooking, prepare the tomatoes by making an X-shaped incision on the bottom of each tomato and blanching it in boiling water for 10 to 15 seconds. Immediately dip the tomatoes in ice cold water, then peel them, remove the seeds and dice them.

Once the facon is cooked, remove from the pan and drain thoroughly. Add the olive oil to the pan and sauté the onions. Add the diced tomatoes and season with crushed red chilli, salt, and black pepper.

Return the facon pieces to the pan with the tomato sauce and heat together for 1 minute.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta al dente and drain. Toss together with the sauce and serve hot. Buon appetito
