Steps

  1. 1
    Put the guanciale in a cold pan and bring it up slowly over medium-low heat so the fat renders out rather than seizing.
  2. 2
    Cook 8-10 minutes until the strips are crisp at the edges but still yielding. Lift them out and leave the fat behind.
  3. 3
    Add the chilli to the rendered fat, then deglaze with the wine and let it evaporate.
  4. 4
    Crush the tomatoes in by hand and simmer 15 minutes until the sauce darkens and thickens.
  5. 5
    Cook the bucatini until 2 minutes short of al dente.
  6. 6
    Drain, reserving a cup of water, and finish the pasta in the sauce for the last 2 minutes, loosening with pasta water.
  7. 7
    Return the guanciale, take off the heat and toss through the Pecorino and plenty of black pepper.
