Directions

Version with cured pork cheek

  1. Dice the guanciale and fry it in a little olive oil with the chili pepper, until it is crispy. Set aside.
  2. In the same frying pan, cook the tomato pulp over medium heat until it forms a smooth sauce.
  3. One minute before the pasta is cooked, add the guanciale and a third of the pecorino to the sauce. ≈ 3 min
  4. Heat the spaghetti al dente in a frying pan for a few seconds, then add the remaining pecorino cheese.

Version with smoked bacon

  1. Cut the bacon into strips. ≈ 8 min
  2. Sauté the chopped onion in the oil, then add the tomato puree and, once boiling, the bacon, which should not brown. Simmer gently for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Mix with the spaghetti, cooked al dente, and serve with Parmesan cheese. ≈ 4 min
