This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pancetta. I also like that it's a one-pot meal.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was still really enjoyable. The pancetta and toasted bread crumbs helped to balance out the heat.

I wasn't sure about the toasted bread crumbs at first, but they really add a nice texture and crunch to the dish.
