This classic meat sauce gets some oomph from peppery arugula. A real crowd-pleaser. An alternative to a traditional pasta amatriciana spicy tomato sauce made with cured pork guanciale, this soul-satisfying dish was born thanks to a test batch of salami that we made for Bklyn Larder. Somehow we’d gotten the chili proportions off and while it wasn’t spicy enough to sell as sopressata, it was too spicy to sell as regular salami. sliced the salami up, crisped it in a pan, and added our house tomato sauce and plenty of olive oil and cheese. It’s a simple dish with lusty, soul-satisfying flavors, bolstered with lots of chili.Ingredients:Salt, for boiling8 strip(s) bacon, chopped1 medium onion, cut into wedges2 clove(s) garlic, peeled12 ounce(s) rigatoni1 pound(s) plum tomatoes, cut into wedges1/2 teaspoon(s) salt1/2 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepperParmesan cheese, grated, to tasteBasil leaves, to tasteYou can also add some sturgeon carpaccio if you'd like some seafood.
