How to Make Bucatini With Pancetta And Tomatoes

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound of Bucatini pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the pancetta and tomato sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 4 ounces of diced pancetta and 1/2 cup of finely chopped yellow onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is crispy and the onions are softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and the drained bucatini. Toss to combine until the pasta is heated through and coated in the sauce (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. Serve immediately, topped with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh green onions.
