Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces linguine
1/4 cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves, chopped
4 ounces sliced pancetta or bacon, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes
1 1/4 cups grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, divided

Steps:

  • Cook linguine in pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1 cup liquid. Return pasta to pot.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; stir 30 seconds. Add pancetta and crushed red pepper; sauté until pancetta is crisp, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes; sauté until soft, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer tomato mixture to pot with pasta. Add 3/4 cup cheese and 1/3 cup basil. Toss over medium heat until cheese melts and sauce coats pasta, adding cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if dry. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with basil. Serve remaining cheese alongside.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs.

This recipe is a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less pancetta or adding some extra tomatoes.

I'm not a big fan of pancetta, so I used bacon instead. It was still really good!
