PASTA WITH PANCETTA AND LEEKS image

Categories     Pasta

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces, weight Pasta, Cooked Al Dente
Reserved Pasta Water, If Needed
3 ounces, weight Chopped Pancetta
3 whole Leeks, Sliced Thin
1 Tablespoon Butter
1/2 cup Dry White Wine
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Salt And Freshly Ground Pepper, To Taste
Parmesan Cheese, Shaved

Steps:

  • Cook pasta and set aside. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Saute chopped pancetta until fat is rendered and it starts to brown. Add sliced leeks and cook for 8 minutes. When you add the leeks, you can also throw in a pat or two of butter if you want to. This'll give the dish some scrumptious flavor. I add it after the bacon is browned because I don't want the butter to brown. After 8 to 10 minutes, pour in wine, then cook an additional 1-2 minutes, until reduced. Reduce heat to low, then pour in cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in Parmesan shavings. Toss in pasta, adding a little pasta water to thin as needed. Serve with Parmesan shavings over the top---delicious!

This pasta dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did, because it was really good! The pancetta added a nice salty and savory flavor, and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

This pasta dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less pancetta next time.
