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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
