It is so tasty and rich and crispy and yummy that
sometimes it must be included in our diet!
....I said "SOMETIMES"!
Tonight it's that time!
I have prepared a "matriciana",
meaning pasta with bacon, onions and tomato sauce....
how simply delicious is that?
Here is the recipe!
FUSILLI ALLA MATRICIANA
(usually the pasta used for this dish are the "bucatini",
so if you want to be precise go buy them!)
Ingredients for 4 people:
500 g (1 packet) of pasta...yes 500 g because
everybody will want to have more!
1 big onion
100 g or 2 thick slices of bacon (the good one: no nitrites or msg)
1 can of tomato sauce
1TBS olive oil
pinch of salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
pinch of sugar
Cube bacon and cook in a hot frying pan till all the fat starts melting
and the bacon becomes curly.
Remove bacon from pan and add 1TBS oil plus the thinly sliced onion.
Let it cook till translucent then add back bacon, tomato sauce, salt,
cayenne and sugar.
Let it cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile in a pot with boiling salted water cook the pasta till "al dente".
Drain it when done and add it into the frying pan with the tomato sauce.
You can serve it with some grated "pecorino" cheese!
THAT'S IT!
