For the sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter

- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ cup vodka
- 1 can (28 oz) whole peeled san marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand

- 1 oz parmesan, finely grated (about ½ cup), plus more for serving

Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season generously with kosher salt — the water should taste pleasantly salty.

Heat the butter and olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the foam subsides. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pieces are lightly golden at the edges, about 5–6 minutes.
