Amatriciana with 'Nduja

Replace half the guanciale with 'nduja, the spreadable Calabrian pork sausage. The sauce turns orange-red and deeply spicy.

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook bucatini 2 minutes less than package time.

  2. 2

    Render guanciale in a cold dry skillet over medium heat. Let the fat render slowly — about 8 minutes. Remove guanciale with a slotted spoon, leaving fat in pan.

  3. 3

    Add chili flakes to the fat. Add wine and let it sizzle. Add tomatoes. Simmer 15 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with a little salt.

  4. 4

    Return guanciale to sauce. Add drained pasta and a splash of pasta water. Toss over medium heat for 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat. Add half the Pecorino and toss. Serve with remaining Pecorino on top.
