Ingredients

  • 2 spoons Oil, olive

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 120 g Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 800 g Tomato, red

  • 1 handful Basil, fresh

  • 2 pinch Salt, table

  • 500 g Pasta, Macaroni

Steps

  1. Place a pot with a large amount of water on the stove and wait for the water to boil. Wash the tomatoes. Use a knife to remove the stem, then make a cross-shaped cut on the rounded side.

  2. When the water boils, immerse the tomatoes in the boiling water for 15 to 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon and let them cool slightly. Peel the tomatoes. Cut the peeled tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds. Scrape out the remaining seeds with a knife. Finally, halve the tomatoes and slice them, then chop them finely. Peel the onion and chop it finely. Slice the pancetta into thin pieces.

  3. Heat olive oil in a pot. Add the onion and pancetta and slowly sauté them for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and the pancetta becomes crispy. Then add the tomatoes and mix everything well. Cook the sauce over moderate heat for 20 minutes.

  4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for cooking the ravioli. Just before the water boils, add salt to increase the boiling power. Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook them for the time indicated on the package.

  5. Coarsely chop the basil leaves and mix them into the tomato sauce. Season the sauce with salt to taste. Once the ravioli are cooked, drain them well and mix them with the prepared sauce. Serve the prepared dish on plates and enjoy.
