Time 38m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 inch thick slice pancetta, diced into 1/4 inch pieces
3/4 cup onion, finely diced
2 cups canned Italian plum tomatoes, chopped (or can use fresh)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
salt
1 lb penne
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped fresh

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat butter and oil and saute pancetta until they brown, about four minutes.
  • Add onion and cook for four more minutes, until opaque.
  • Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the oil and pancetta fat separate from the tomatoes; you will be able to see this quite clearly. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile cook the penne until al dente. Drain and return to pot.
  • Add 1/3 of sauce and mix well. Transfer to large serving platter. Pour remaining sauce over all. Sprinkle cheese and parsley over all.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out terrible. The sauce was watery and the pasta was overcooked.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This dish is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less red pepper flakes.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of pancetta. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed the flavors of the sauce and it was delicious.

This dish is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love serving it with a side of garlic bread.

I added some chopped spinach to the dish and it was delicious. It's a great way to sneak in some extra veggies.

I'm not a big fan of pancetta, so I used bacon instead. It turned out great! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor to the dish.
