I love, love, love pasta! I can eat it every day for every meal. I actually got this recipe from Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals. I was probably starving when I was watching the show and that's what got me hooked on the idea of making it. Amatriciana is an Italian dish that includes pork, cheese, and tomato. According to Wikipedia, amatriciana is the most popular pasta sauce in Italian cuisine. This is my version.
American Amatriciana
Ingredients:
1lb penne pasta
1 med-sized red onion, chopped
7 slices of peppered bacon
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chicken stock
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cans of fire roasted tomatoes
handful of fresh chopped parsley
To do:
1. Get your pasta water going and salt your water (this flavors the pasta)
2. Heat oil in a sauce pan, cut bacon into small pieces and add to the pan
3. Cook bacon on med-high heat for 3-4 minutes
4. Add red onion and garlic. Cook for 4-5 more minutes
5. Check water and add pasta
6. When garlic and onion are fragrant, add chicken stock to mixture.
7. Add tomatoes
8. Drain noodles
9. When noodles are done, add parsley to sauce. You do this last so the parsley will not "cook" and turn dark green.
9. Taste the sauce, salt and pepper if needed. The bacon should have given the dish that balance with the salt in the bacon and the peppered outside. So don't blindingly add salt or pepper.
10. Top with cheese if needed.
11. Enjoy!!!
This recipe takes no time, 15-20 minutes tops! I am not very big on leftovers, but this dish is very good leftover. This is my favorite past dish so far.
p.s. most of my recipes will be pasta!!! :)
