Amatriciana with Fresh Tomatoes, a delicious classic Italian Pasta Dish, pancetta and fresh tomatoes a fast and easy Dinner Idea.

Ahhh September, the heat of the summer is over and I can’t wait! During that time the days are still pretty hot in Italy,  but at least it cools down in the evening.

I love the fall, everything about it, the colours, the weather, the food, especially the food! You can warm up with a delicious bowl of Soup, or a yummy Stew.

But I still have to get through the terrible heat of the summer first!

Before we get into the Fall mode, there are so many delicious  fruits and vegetables that Summer has to offer, from farmers markets to our own gardens.

Especially an Italian favourite, tomatoes, and what’s a great way of using them up?

Well you could always Freeze them but I have a better idea, one of my favourite Pasta dishes is this Amatriciana with Fresh Tomatoes.

For me no better way to start or end summer than with a delicious pasta dish made with Fresh Summer Tomatoes, especially if you add some pancetta to the pan.

Amatriciana with Fresh Tomatoes

fresh tomatoes, pancetta and olive oil in a pan

While your tomatoes are steeping in the hot boiled water for 5 or 10 minutes, you can get that chopped pancetta browning in a little olive oil, remove the skin from the tomatoes, chop them up and toss them in with the browned pancetta, throw in a little or a lot of fresh spices, let it simmer and thicken.

Toss it all together with pasta of choice and there you have the perfect I-love-pasta Amatriciana with Fresh Tomatoes Dish. Buon Appetito!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped pancetta (100 grams)
  • 7-8 fresh San Marzano ripe tomatoes (or tomatoes of choice)
  • 5-7 leaves fresh basil chopped
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil (40 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1-2 cloves garlic chopped
  • pinch hot pepper flakes if desired
  • 3 cups cooked pasta ( whichever you prefer )

Instructions

  • Wash tomatoes and place in a large bowl, cover with boiling water and let sit for approximately 10-15 minutes, drain (should be easy to remove the skin, (hold with a fork and remove skin with a knife) be careful because it is very hot), slice tomato in half and remove insides and seeds, chop into large pieces.
  • In a large pot boil water and cook pasta al dente in salted water. Drain.
  • In a large-size frying pan add olive oil and chopped pancetta, let cook on low to medium heat until pancetta starts to brown, add chopped tomatoes, oregano, dried basil, garlic and hot pepper flakes stir to combine, let cook covered for approximately 10 minutes, add chopped fresh basil and continue to cook uncovered until thickened. Gently toss with 3 cups cooked pasta  and half a ladle of pasta water, cook on medium heat a minute or two, serve immediately. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil if desired. Enjoy!

      This is delicious. I used canned organic San Marzano tomatoes imported from Italy, added maybe 1/2 tbsp of the tomato sauce left in the can, an extra 50 grams of pancetta and used finely grated pecorino cheese which has better flavor and texture than parmesan. Seriously freakin delicious. I have made this recipe like 10 times now, I almost know it by heart. Everyone I cook it for loves it.

      This looks so simple to make, yet so delicious! This is the exact kind of pasta meal that my husband loves (he’s not a fan of heavy cream sauces).

        Aren’t they? All you would have to do is throw in some chocolate and I would be all set!

      There is something so special about fresh tomatoes with pasta. September is a special time for me — it’s not only my birthday month but on September 4, 2012 we landed in Venice. It was my birthday and I hadn’t been back to the mother land in 61 years. Can’t wait to come back. Anyway, I love your recipe it has every ingredient I love and your photos are fantastic!! Great Job.
