Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 50 g pancetta heavily spiced pork belly, diced into small pieces
- 200 g large onions
- 1 dried peperoncino
- 200 g spaghetti
Instructions
- Cook the Pancetta: In a Teflon pan with a lid, sauté the pancetta in the olive oil until the pieces start to colour.
- Add the Onions: Add onions, sliced into very thin pieces, and mix well.
- Add the Peperoncino: Crumble the peperoncino into the pan, and cover with the lid.
- Simmer the Sauce: Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 45 minutes. The onions should become completely soft but not overly brown. Occasionally add a bit of water to prevent browning.
- Cook the Spaghetti: In the meantime, cook the spaghetti in salted water until al dente, drain, and mix in the sauce.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the spaghetti with the sauce, and enjoy your simple but delightful meal.
