1. Prepare the water for the spaghetti, so that it can come to a boil. Add salt.
2. Heat the olive oil with the chilli flakes in the pan over a moderate heat and add the bacon. Fry until the fat becomes transparent. Deglaze with the white wine and wait until the wine has evaporated (low heat).
3. Spoon the bacon out of the pan onto a plate. Leave the fat in. Add the passata and mix well with the fat. Leave the tomatoes to cook on a slightly higher heat with a lid on the pan (to prevent splashing) so that the sauce thickens.
4. In the meantime, cook the spaghetti al dente (this is 1-2 minutes less than indicated on the packet: differs per type).
5. Stir the bacon back into the tomato sauce.
6. Stir in half the grated pecorino.
7. Add the cooked spaghetti and stir well so that the sauce is evenly distributed.
8. Spaghetti all'Amatriciana on the plates and serve with some extra pecorino cheese and some basil leaves.
👉🏽 Pasta koken: Als het water voor de pasta kookt, doe er dan pas zout bij. Voeg vervolgens de spaghetti of andere pasta toe en laat het water weer koken. Roer de pasta goed door, draai het vuur uit en doe de deksel op de pan. Houd vanaf het moment dat het water weer kookt de kooktijd -2 minuten aan. Roer tussendoor de pasta flink door zodat die niet kleeft. Daarna gewoon afgieten. Het voordeel is dat de pasta nooit kleeft aan de onderkant van de pan.
Nice to know
On 24 August 2016 at 3.36 am, the town of Amatrice in the Lazio region, Italy was badly hit by an earthquake. The old town centre was virtually wiped out. A total of 230 people lost their lives. The high number of victims is due to the time of day: almost everyone was asleep. In the months following this terrible event, we held benefit dinners at which this spaghetti was served. The proceeds were over EUR 10,000. That can never fill the hole that was left in Amatrice's heart, but it helps a little.
