I just made that up. It's actually pasta with pancetta and cream, but I just couldn't resist the rhyme :) But this is one of the easiest pasta dish around and you just can't go wrong with it. In 15 minutes, tops.
Pancetta, by the way, is a kind of Italian bacon that usually comes pre-cut into cubes. It's very salty and needs no further spicing up.
INGREDIENTS:
200g pancetta
500g Spaghetti or Spaghettini
1 cup table cream
Granulated garlic (to taste)
Cracked pepper (to taste)
STEPS:
1. Place pancetta on large non-stick wok/pan over low heat. Stir and cook until browned on the sides and scoop out excess bacon oil leaving only about 1-2 tablespoons of it.
2. Pour cream over cooked pancetta and simmer 2 minutes stirring occassionally. Season with granulated garlic and cracked pepper.
3. Cook pasta until al dente according to box instructions.
4. Strain pasta out of water and place directly on wok/pan with your pancetta and cream sauce. Mix and serve.
Tada!
Now don't forget your vegetables! You can make this dish a tad healthier by adding maybe some chopped broccoli, peas or maybe some chopped parseley, up to you.
