The popular pasta Amatriciana is an Italian classic consisting of three key ingredients: pecorino, guanciale and tomato sauce. This month we've created a vegan alternative to this classic dish! 

Ingredients (serving 4): 
320 g Barilla® Spaghetti No. 5
150 g vegan bacon
100 g onion, peeled and thinly sliced
5 ripe tomatoes
40 g grated vegan pecorino cheese
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
crushed red chili pepper to taste
salt and black pepper to taste

Method 
1. Start by slicing the vegan bacon into rectangles. Place these pieces in a pan over medium heat with a small amount of water. Allow it to simmer until the fat has melted.
2. While the vegan bacon is cooking, prepare the tomatoes. Make an X-shaped cut on the bottom of each tomato. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 10 to 15 seconds. Immediately after, immerse the tomatoes in ice water. Once cooled, peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds, and dice them.
3. After the vegan bacon is fully cooked, remove the pieces from the pan and drain them well.
4. In the same pan, add the olive oil and sauté the onions. Next, add the diced tomatoes. Season the mixture with crushed red chili pepper, salt, and black pepper.
5. Return the cooked vegan bacon pieces to the pan with the tomato and onion mixture. Heat this briefly.
6. In a separate pot, cook the pasta in boiling salted water until it is al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta.
7. Toss the cooked pasta with the tomato and vegan bacon sauce. Sprinkle the dish with vegan pecorino cheese.
8. Serve the dish hot and enjoy.
