Recipe Instructions:

Heat the Olive Oil: Begin by placing enough olive oil in a large saucepan to cover the bottom, then heat it over a medium flame.
-
Saute the Aromatics and Bacon: Add onions, garlic, and bacon to the pan. Saute them for about 5 minutes or until the bacon is cooked through and releases its tantalizing aroma.
-
Add the White Wine: Pour in the white wine and bring it to a lively boil. Let it simmer for approximately 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Incorporate the Tomato Puree: Stir in the tomato puree, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the other ingredients.
-
Adjust the Consistency: Fill the empty tomato can about halfway with water and add it to the pan, adjusting the sauce’s consistency to your preference.
-
Spice it Up: Sprinkle in as much or as little red pepper flakes as you desire, infusing the sauce with a delightful hint of heat.
-
Simmer to Perfection: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to intensify and meld into a harmonious blend.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the sauce reaches its desired consistency and flavors have melded beautifully, serve it generously over al dente penne pasta or your preferred pasta variety.
Enjoy your Pasta Amatriciana!
