Method

Step 1

In a large pan that will also fit the Barilla Spaghetti pasta, throw in the guanciale. Bring the pan to medium heat and cook the guanciale until crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil, and add salt once boiled.

Step 2

Once the guanciale is crispy, add white wine and deglaze. Let the alcohol evaporate off, for a few minutes.

Step 3

Remove the guanciale from the pan and set aside, but keep the rendered fat in.

Step 4

Mash the tomatoes with a fork or your hands and add them to the pan with the rendered guanciale fat. Add chili pepper, black pepper to taste, along with a tiny bit of salt.

Step 5

Let the sauce cook for 20-25 minutes, until reduced.

Step 6

When there are about 10-12 minutes left for the sauce to finish cooking, add the Barilla Spaghetti pasta to the boiling water. Cook until just before al dente.

Step 7

Add the guanciale back to the sauce.

Step 8

Add the Barilla Spaghetti pasta to the pan with the tomato sauce. Mix together for a few minutes, until sauce absorbs into the pasta. Add pecorino romano cheese and mix again.

Step 9

Remove from heat, plate and top with additional cheese to serve.
