Spicy Bacon Pasta (Amatriciana)

Yet another simple pasta sauce which we have not yet added to the blog! This pasta sauce is so tasty and so easy to make. Just slice and saute a small onion and garlic clove. Add chopped pancetta, 1/2 teaspoon or less red pepper flakes and cook for 10 minutes. Then add 1 can of tomato paste or plain tomato sauce and you are golden. Just be sure to let the tomato sauce cook into the mixture for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve over any type of pasta (I prefer spaghetti or gnocchi) with parmesan-or even better pecorino-cheese. If you are unable to find pancetta at your local grocery store, you may substitute bacon-for you Hyde Parkers, pancetta is available at Hyde Park Produce, just ask at the deli counter!
