Spaghetti with Quick Pantry Sauce – The truth is, Italians have many simple pasta–sauce recipes that exist only because the ingredients were handy. This recipe falls into that category; it is convenient, economical, and full of flavor, because cured products like olives, capers, and anchovies intensify in flavor during the curing process. https://lidiasitaly.com/recipes/spaghetti-quick-pantry-sauce/

Bucatini with Pancetta, Tomato and Onion – This classic and delectable pasta dish features lots of onions; chips of guanciale (cured pork cheek, now available in the United States), pancetta, or bacon; and San Marzano tomatoes are the essential elements of the sauce, Roma style. Enjoy. https://lidiasitaly.com/recipes/bucatini-with-pancetta-tomato-and-onion/

Olive Oil & Rosemary Spaghettini – This is a perfect example of a minimal-ingredient recipe that is delicious and easy. You will often see rosemary used in flavoring meats and roasts, because it has such an intense and rich flavor. But in this recipe, cooked in some butter to release its aroma, it makes a perfect sauce for spaghetti. Be sure to top it with some grated cheese. https://lidiasitaly.com/recipes/olive-oil-rosemary-spaghettini/

Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe – Here is a classic pasta, as delicious as it is simple and fast. But because it is such a minimalist creation every ingredient is of utmost importance. Use a very good authentic Pecorino Romano. And grind the black peppercorns just before making the dish—I like to crush the black pepper by hand in a mortar, into coarse bits that explode with flavor as I enjoy the pasta. https://lidiasitaly.com/recipes/spaghetti-crushed-black-pepper-pecorino-cheese/

Spaghetti with Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce – If you travel through southern Italy during the summer you are bound to find some rendition of this dish in every town. Delicious and simple to assemble, it will be sure to become one of your favorites.
