The Best Pasta Sauce Of All Time

I know it's a big call, but I may have discovered THE best pasta sauce recipe of all time... You may have had spaghetti alla matriciana before (at La Porchetta perhaps), but never this good. It may not be authentic but it tastes damn good! Give it a try!

100 grams pancetta

50 grams diced bacon

1 onion

2 garlic cloves

1 red chilli

1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes

1 tablespoon kalamata olives, quartered

1 tablespoon capers

1 tin crushed tomatoes

1 tablespoon tomato paste

handful of cherry tomatoes, halved

Process garlic cloves, chilli, chilli flakes and onion, then fry in saucepan with some olive oil for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile process pancetta and diced bacon. Once the onion has softened, add the pancetta and diced bacon mixture and fry for another 5 minutes. Add tinned tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, tomato paste, capers and olives, cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes (while you're waiting for pasta to cook).

A trick my mum taught me is to stir a bit of the sauce through the pasta so all the pasta is covered with sauce, then put a spoonful of the sauce mixture on top of the pasta to serve. Looks good and tastes great!
