Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bucatini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it is crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Onion

    Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes

    Pour in the canned tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon. Season with salt and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained bucatini to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as necessary to achieve desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pasta hot, topped with grated Pecorino Romano cheese and additional black pepper to taste.
