Method

1

Cook the spaghetti in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions, as they will finish cooking in the skillet. Do not discard the cooking water.

2

Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the diced cured pork over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, then add the chili pepper and cook for another three minutes.

3

Add the diced tomatoes, marjoram, Italian herbs, and sugar and salt to taste to the pork, stir well, and simmer for about five more minutes.

4

Transfer the spaghetti to the skillet, pour in a splash of the pasta cooking water, carefully mix everything together without breaking the noodles, and simmer until the spaghetti is al dente.

5

To serve, season the pasta with freshly ground black pepper, grated cheese, extra virgin olive oil, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
