Spaghetti with streaky bacon

One easily recognises the importance of streaky bacon in Roman cooking: many dishes call for a fried mixture and, in Roma, this fried mixture is done mainly with streaky bacon, so it plays a role which is considered by many practically fundamental. Others instead generally substitute it with the plain back bacon, however it should be accepted that streaky bacon is very simple and tasty, fry in 1 tablespoon of lard, 50 g of diced streaky bacon per person witha chili tip and ½ onion sliced. In the meanwhile, boil the spaghetti until they are chewy „al dente”, drain and reheat in a pan together with the bacon. Allow to rest to absorb the flavour and serve with hot chili and a sprinkling of pepper.
