Ingredients

Directions

Soak the mushrooms in 1 cup of warm water for 1 hour. Remove and squeeze out excess liquid. Finely chop and set aside.

In a 12 to 14-inch skillet, place the guanciale and cook over medium heat until the fat has been rendered. Remove half the fat, add the olive oil, garlic and mushrooms and cook over medium-high heat until the garlic begins to color. Add the tomatoes and juices and cook over medium heat 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.

Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to package directions, until tender yet al dente. Drain the spaghetti, add it to the pan with the sauce and toss over high heat 2 minutes. Divide evenly among 4 warmed pasta bowls and serve immediately.

    Was a little unsure of this one, but I'm trying to bring things to our regular dinners other than Shake N Bake. I found the guanciale at a local Italian specialty store, and it's so much better than bacon or pancetta. After asking what it was, I didn't know if I wanted to be that adventurous, but it has so much flavor!!! Very easy and so worth it!

    I made this last night with pancetta, wild mushrooms, and angel hair pasta. It was delicious and easy to cook! I will make it again but will make more of the sauce, it was so good. My husband I both agree it is our favorite so far of Mario's recipes.
