How to Make Weight Watcher's Spaghetti Amatriciana

Cook 8 ounces spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add 4 ounces diced bacon and cook, flipping once, until crispy (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove bacon from skillet and set aside. Crumble bacon when cool.
Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, stirring frequently (about 3-5 minutes).
Add the crumbled bacon back to the skillet. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked spaghetti and reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately. Yields about 4 servings (approximately 1 1/2 cups per serving).
