"I'm sharing with you guys a happy, holiday-style meal," says Rach. It's really simple, tasty and beautiful, and it's great for guests and during the cold months of the year. She tosses the spaghetti with a super-flavorful pancetta and onion sauce and serves it as a first course or alongside this Drunken Pork Roast. "For me," she says, "it really is the perfect meal."
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons EVOO, plus more to finish
- 1/3 cup pancetta or meaty guanciale, fine dice
- 3 onions, quartered and very thinly sliced
- 3 or 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- Salt and pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cup beef or chicken bone broth or stock
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- ½ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Yield
Serves: 4 to 6
Preparation
Heat a large pot of water to boil for pasta.
Heat a deep skillet with EVOO over medium heat, add the pancetta or guanciale and render 2 to 3 minutes. Add onions, garlic, salt, pepper and bay leaves and cook 30 to 40 minutes over low heat. Add stock to the golden, sweet onions and remove bay leaves.
