Marc's Spaghetti

Despite Marc being busy with work he surprised me with making dinner!  He made his infamous spaghetti. 

Recipe:
- 2 tbsp evoo
- 6 oz chopped La Quercia Guanciale
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped jardinara
- 2 28oz cans tomatoes
- 1 lb spaghetti





Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until oil ripples but does not smoke.  Add guanciale and cook, stirring frequently, until the fat begins to render and meat is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.  Add onion and stir, coating onions with the rendered fat.  Season with salt & pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden, about 10 minutes.  Add the garlic and jardinara and cook about 10 more minutes.  Add the tomotatoes, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.  Lower the heat and gently simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally until it reduces and thickens slightly, the flavors blend and the fat floats to the surface, about 40 minutes.  Add to cooked spaghetti and top with parmigiana romano cheese.  

We ate the pasta with a side of jerusalem salad.

Verdict:
The pasta was so full of flavor, rich & complex.  It was so amazingly good.  He's in trouble because once you eat something this delicious, you will want it all the time!  I give it two thumbs up!
