SPAGHETTI WITH CREAMY PANCETTA SAUCE
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Heat the olive oil in a deep-sided skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta to the pan and cook until lightly browned. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the onions; cook until softened. Stir in the peas to heat through, and then add the Parmesan and cream.

This is a lovely Alsacian-inspired pasta dish that I learned from a French flat-mate, and that has become an absolute favourite. It is truly delicious!!

Steps:
- Boil the pasta in lots of salty water, the more water you use, the better the pasta will be, even for a small quantity.
- Drain the pasta and let it stand until your sauce is ready.
- To save time, start preparing your sauce while the pasta is boiling.
- For the sauce: in a frying pan, fry the onions and garlic with the pancetta until the onions are golden brown and the pancetta is crispy. Do not use more than a few drops of oil, or even none at all, because the pancetta will give you plenty of that.
- Toss the pasta with the fried onions, garlic and pancetta.
- Pour cream over it all, as much as you like (I use about 100 ml).
- Season with salt and pepper, according to taste.
- Voila, your delicious meal is ready!

PASTA, PANCETTA AND PEAS
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
- Meanwhile, saute pancetta in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. In the same pan, saute onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add peas and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, pasta and pancetta. Moisten pasta with some of the reserved pasta water. Toss to incorporate, season with salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve, sprinkled with lemon juice.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your pasta. Look for fresh pancetta, heavy cream, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Cook the pancetta until it is crispy. This will give it a nice smoky flavor and help to render out some of the fat.
- Don't overcook the pasta. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Add the cream and cheese to the pasta while it is still hot. This will help the sauce to thicken and coat the pasta evenly.
- Season the pasta to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
- Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This pasta with cream and pancetta is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is creamy, smoky, and flavorful, and it will surely be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying pasta dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
