Background

Amatriciana is a traditional, basic pasta sauce, based on cured pork, pecorino and tomato. It's usually served with pasta. This spaghetti with pancetta and tomato is a modern version, made special with mozzarella. It's ready within 15 minutes.

Ingredients

200g smoked lardons or diced pancetta
400g spaghetti
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tsp dried chilli flakes (optional)
1 Tbsp tomato purée
400g ripe cherry tomatoes
1 tsp unrefined sugar
1 handful parsley leaves, chopped
1 pack of Mozzarella, drained (about 125 g)

Instructions

Cut the tomatoes in half and thinly slice the garlic.
Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the package, then drain. Put aside one cup of the cooking water.
Meanwhile, fry the pork until crispy. Add the garlic and chilli flakes. Stir, then add the tomatoes and tomato purée. Sprinkle with sugar and cook for about 5 minutes.
When the tomatoes have softened and a thick tomato sauce is formed, add the drained spaghetti, the chopped parsley and about 3-5 Tbsps of the cooking water. Tear the mozzarella into small pieces, and add to the pasta. Stir and heat through.
Serve with chopped parsley and plenty of ground pepper.
