1. Thinly slice the onion and cut the bacon into pieces of about 7mm thickness. Discard the seeds of the chilli and chop finely.
2. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and fry the bacon on a low heat. Once the bacon starts to become slightly crispy on the edges, add the onion and chilli. Cook on a low heat until the onions start to caramelise. (POINT: At least 15mins)
3. Add the chopped tomatoes and sugar and leave the sauce to thicken on a low to medium heat for 15-20mins.
4. Season with a little salt, pepper and dash of maggi or worcester sauce.
5. Pour over cooked pasta and serve with chopped parsley and grated parmesan.

  I included quartered mushrooms, two cloves of garlic and increased the chilli quota and EVERYBODY loved it - which is quite a coup. This is definitely a "do-again" one!

  thought i could serve this on top of pasta tri - coloured twists as a light lunch for work. I would part cook the pasta, then when customer comes in for their lunch, add pre cooked pasta to boiling water then ladle over top, perhaps with the mushrooms as stated and with wedges of crust garlic bread slices..... tomorrow for lunch sounds great! will let you all know how it went.

  Pretty simple but not true Amatriciana as no Italian would add Maggi or Worcester sauce. Leave this out, ccok the onions for less time and use Cirrio tomatoes (or similar good quality) and you won't need sugar. Then cook the pasta really al dente and add the pasta to the sauce for a few minutes, adding a little pasta cooking water if too dry, then serve, without Parmigianno although this is personal taste. That is the proper way but, if it tastes nice with anything else added, then don't be constricted by tradition. Real Italian food tends to be much simpler than our Anglicised versions.
