Prepare spaghetti in cacciatore sauce, or hunter's style. This dish features the richest and most flavorful ingredients: mushrooms, fried bacon, tomatoes, red peppers, Parmesan, and oregano. Together, they create a whole bouquet of flavors you'll want to savor again and again. Before draining the spaghetti, pour a little of the starchy cooking water into a cup to thin the sauce if needed.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 280 g spaghetti
  • 3 thick slices bacon, diced
  • 220 g oyster mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • Half a red onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 can (800g) canned whole San Marzano tomatoes, hand crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions. Remove 0.5 cups of water and drain the pasta in a colander.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp, about 7 minutes. Discard most of the fat, reserving 2 tablespoons.

  3. Add the mushrooms and red onion to the pan with the bacon and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 6 minutes.
  4. Add the spaghetti and cooking water; cook, stirring, until the pasta is completely coated with the sauce, about 2 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese, season with salt, and toss to coat. Drizzle each serving of pasta with olive oil and sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan.
