The BEST Spaghetti all’Amatriciana
No really, this is by far the the BEST Spaghetti all’Amatriciana you’ll ever make, and honestly it’s really just the best tomato-sauced pasta in general I’ve ever made – and to be clear, I’ve made a LOT of red-sauced pastas.
Recipe Ingredients
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 3/4 tsp salt, divided
2 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
3 tbsp olive oil, divided

6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cups diced onion (about 1 1/2 large onions)

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or more if you like it spicy!)
Pasta water
1/2 cup grated pecorino cheese, plus more for garnish
