Rigatoni all'amatriciana

[Thermomixer]

Name of Recipe: Rigatoni all'amatriciana

Number of People: 6

Ingredients:

30 gr pecorino
200 gr. Guanciale (or pancetta, speck or bacon) diced
90 gr. olive oil
1 small onion, quartered
600 gr. tomatoes canned (drained) or fresh
1 chilli
salt
400g rigatoni  

Preparation:

Place the pecorino into the TM bowl and grate for 20 seconds on speed 8.  Set aside.
Put onion in the TM bowl and chop for 10 seconds on speed 7.  Add oil and sauté for 3 minutes at 100°C on speed 4.  Add in the guanciale and let cook for 5 minutes at 100°C on speed 1.  Now add in tomatoes well drained, chilli, salt and cook for 18 minutes at 100°C on speed 1. If you want a very thick sauce, then during cooking set the temperature at Varoma, and place the Measuring Cup partly open.  

While cooking the sauce prepare the rigatoni as per packet instructions.  If you wish to cook in the TMX, then make sauce first and keep warm while preparing the pasta.

Dress the rigatoni and serve. Serve with grated pecorino.

CP - This was absolutely divine! I used hot pancetta (instead of mild) and therefore put the chilli in whole. It had just the right amount of heat for us (no small children in our family). So easy and will definitely make this one again for sure. Hats off to you TMXR.

CC - I agree with CP, it's a lovely recipe and we enjoyed it very much. I took the seeds out of the chilli and chopped it with the onion, next time I would leave the seeds intact. I used dry cured back bacon because that's what I had in the fridge. A very easy recipe that makes a tasty fast meal.

Jamberie - This one is a winner! I chopped a clove of garlic, then chopped the onion, then bacon. I only added 30g oil then cooked at Varoma temp for 5 mins before following the rest of the recipe. It was just a little bit quicker for me that way. Great meal...on my list of favourites.

Thanks for bumping this CP, I would have never have found the recipe otherwise.

CP, I was only looking at some of TMXers early recipes the other day, you must have been doing the same thing.  Wish he'd come back and start posting again

This looks similar to the recipe in the EDC but with larger quantities which is handy.  Yummy.

Yes he was the No. 1 Guru and is remembered fondly. MY DD's boyfriend said his favourite meal was Penne Amatriciana, TMXRs recipe came up in the search so I went with that one because his recipes are restaurant quality or given to him by a chef. I couldn't believe no one had left a comment because it really was delish. I've made that Arrabiatta sauce in the EDC, but this is much nicer I think because there was more pancetta and more tomatoes. (I used 2 x 400g tins whole tomatoes drained and this equalled 600g required)

Sounds good CP63.  Have printed it off ready to try.

I was asking my butcher today about the difference between speck and pancetta, and he said that speck is less fatty and has a bit more of a smoked flavour.

Thought there was more to it that that CP. You learn something new every day on this forum.

Hoping to make this soon. Sounds too easy

[Jamberie]

OMG it was! Especially if you are lazy like me and virtually throw everything in at the start (except the tomatoes)
I loved it because if was cheap, I had all the ingredients on hand and it was quick! I look forward to hearing how you go with it. FYI I took all the seeds out of the chilli as DD was eating it too (she is two).
