Macaroni With Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Pancetta Sauce image

This is the weeknight version of my Recipe#368572- same great flavour but quicker and easier to make. If you use another type of pasta, you may need 2 cups as macaroni is small and dense. Also feel free to substitute bacon for the pancetta- it works just as well.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces pancetta, cubed (can easily substitute bacon)
1 3/4 cups macaroni, uncooked
1 red onion, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 cup mascarpone cheese
8 -10 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
parmesan cheese, to top (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a skillet and add the pancetta. Cook over a medium heat, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
  • Start cooking the macaroni according to the package directions.
  • Add the red onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for a further 5 minutes, or until the pancetta is cooked and the onion softened.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out really oily. I think I might have added too much olive oil.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and the pasta was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought the sauce was a little too bland for my taste, but it was still a good recipe overall. I would probably add some more spices next time.
