Pasta All’Amatriciana
This was a classic, great italian recipe.
I finally found pancetta at my grocery store, it was in the deli in front of the counter, and I added the minimal amount of red pepper because I don’t like things too spicy.
But overall, it was really yummy with a side of crusty bread!
You will need: 1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (or two 14 oz. cans)
