Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Chop the pancetta into small pieces, dice the onion, and roughly chop the fresh tomatoes.
Cook the Pancetta
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it becomes crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Tomatoes and Spices
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook the Spaghetti
While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain when al dente.
Combine and Serve
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce and toss to combine. Serve hot, topped with grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
