Ingredients

0.25 pound thinly sliced pancetta bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
0.25 cup white wine
0.5 pound uncooked spaghetti
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook guanciale (or bacon), onion, and red pepper flakes until the onion is tender and the guanciale is crispy.
Stir in the canned tomatoes and white wine; simmer for approximately 20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly.
Add the cooked pasta to the Amatriciana sauce and toss gently to coat. Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
