Cooking Steps
To prepare the ingredients, finely chop the red onion, pancetta (rind removed), and tomato. Peel and crush the garlic. Finely slice the basil and long red chilli, and grate the Parmesan cheese.
In a large pot, bring some salted water to the boil. Add the wholemeal spiral pasta to the boiling water and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until ‘al dente’, stirring regularly to ensure that the pasta does not stick. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, pancetta, and chilli flakes. Start with only half of the chilli flakes if you don’t like things to get too spicy! Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onion has softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the white wine, diced tomatoes, tomato, sugar and the basil and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Add the drained pasta to the pan and stir through the rocket. Season well with salt and pepper.
Scoop generous spoonfuls of this rustic pasta into serving bowls. If you like a chilli hit, sprinkle it with the fresh chilli and top with the Parmesan cheese.
