Instant Pot Bucatini Amatriciana

4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, divided (plus more for drizzling over plated portions, if desired)

10 oz of diced pancetta (usually in the deli/cheese section in most markets. You can use a thick, diced bacon instead if you cannot find this)

1 small yellow or red onion, diced

2 cups of garlic broth (I used 2 tsp of Garlic Better Than Bouillon 2 cups of water but you can also use Chicken Better Than Bouillon/chicken broth instead and it will still be great). NOTE: If using an 8qt pot, use 3 cups of broth instead of 2 which I used in the 6qt

28 oz can of crushed tomatoes, preferably San Marzano for best results (NOTE: this brand of San Marzano tomatoes I use in the video is actually made in the US. I still suggest using crushed San Marzano and these will do if you can’t find the ones made in Italy since it tasted great and is a great, close second)

½ to 1 tsp hot red-pepper flakes (you can add more if you want it spicier or less for milder)

1 box (1 lb) of Bucatini or Perciatelli (if you absolutely cannot find the Bucatini/Perciatelli, which is ideal for this dish, you can use 1 lb of Spaghetti instead)

¼ cup of grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese (you can add a little more if you wish to thicken the sauce even more)
