Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 ounces guanciale or pancetta, finely diced (see Note)
- 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons minced anchovy fillet
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- One 14.5-ounce can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1/2 cup torn basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for serving
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- In a deep skillet, heat the oil. Add the guanciale and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until opaque, about 3 minutes. Add the onion, anchovy and garlic and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until hot, 2 minutes.
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti until pliable but still hard in the center, about 5 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving 2 cups of the cooking water.
- Add the pasta and water to the sauce and cook until the pasta is al dente; add more water if the sauce gets too thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil, crushed red pepper and the 1/2 cup of cheese. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to bowls and serve, passing more cheese at the table.
