Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Break each piece of bucatini into 4 pieces.

02

Step
5 mins

Toast luncheon meat with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add crushed peppercorns and cook until meat is crispy, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

03

Step
22 mins

Heat remaining oil in another pan over medium-low heat. Cook onion, covered, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add sugar; cook, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until onion is very soft and browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

04

Step
5 mins

Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook bucatini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.

05

Step
13 mins

Add mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the pan with the onions. Stir and cover. Cook until mushrooms shrink and lose some moisture, about 5 minutes. Add butter; cook until flavors meld, about 3 minutes more. Add the crispy meat and Parmesan cheese. Stir.

06

Step
5 mins

Drain pasta and stir into the mushroom mixture. Add mozzarella cheese. Increase heat to high and cover pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta develops a light crust, 3 to 5 minutes more.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the mushroom mixture before adding the butter.
Don't be afraid to let the pasta develop a good crust on the bottom of the pan – this adds a wonderful textural element to the dish.
If you don't have bucatini, you can substitute another long pasta shape like spaghetti or linguine.
