Instructions

Heat a pan over low heat, add the guanciale, and cook slowly until golden and the fat has rendered.

Remove the golden guanciale to a paper towel to drain the fat, and sauté the onion in the same pan.

Once the onion is well cooked, add the cherry tomatoes and cook.

When the cherry tomatoes start to break down, splash in a very small amount of white wine.

Once the wine has evaporated, add the whole peeled tomatoes and simmer thoroughly.

While simmering, boil the spaghetti for 8 minutes according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
