Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced pancetta to the skillet and cook until it is crispy and golden-brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the crushed tomatoes, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.

Step 9

Add the crispy pancetta back into the tomato sauce and stir to heat through.

Step 10

Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, tossing well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
