PANCETTA BACON PASTA



Pancetta Bacon Pasta image

Provided by Food Network

Time P7DT20m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon clarified butter
1 pound 4 ounces Pancetta, diced, recipe follows
1 teaspoon finely diced garlic
1/4 cup white wine
5 ounces heavy cream
Cooked pasta, for serving
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 pounds fresh pork belly
2 teaspoons pink salt
2 ounces kosher salt
2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground white pepper, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons juniper berries, cracked
5 bay leaves, crumbled small
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons pureed fresh garlic
5 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large saute pan. Add the Pancetta and saute until slightly brown. Add the garlic, saute briefly, and then deglaze with the wine. Reduce the wine by half, and then add the heavy cream. Reduce this by one third, and then toss in your cooked pasta. Heat the pasta through and add the Parmesan, white pepper, and salt and toss. Pour into bowls and add more Parmesan cheese (as much as you like).
  • Ask your butcher for a 5 pound, nice square piece of pork belly (skinless) that will fit into a 2-gallon zip-top bag.
  • Pat the belly with paper towels to dry. Mix together all the spices. Wearing plastic gloves, rub the cure mixture into both sides of the belly. Place in a 2-gallon zip-top bag, put on a sheet pan, and refrigerate. Every day for 1 week, turn the bag over and massage the belly (through the bag) to ensure saturation. The pork will take on a slightly darker color than what it was. This is a sign that the cure is working. It will also draw some moisture out of the belly. When the meat is darker and firmer, remove the belly from the bag and run under water to remove any cure sediment. Pat dry and lightly cover with a dusting of ground white pepper. Roll the belly very tightly into a log and wrap tightly with cheesecloth. Tie the end and hang in a 34 to 38 degree F refrigerator for at least 2 weeks.At this time the bacon should be fully cured and have a good firmness when squeezed.

POTATO SALAD WITH PANCETTA, ROSEMARY, AND LEMON



Potato Salad with Pancetta, Rosemary, and Lemon image

Provided by Rick Rodgers

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 ounces 1/8-inch-thick slices pancetta (Italian bacon; about 5 slices)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
1 garlic clove, pressed
2/3 cup olive oil
3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
3 large celery stalks, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange pancetta slices on rimmed baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes (do not turn). Drain on paper towels. Cool. Coarsely chop pancetta.
  • Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, rosemary, lemon peel, and garlic in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place potatoes in large pot. Add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium. Simmer with lid ajar until tender, 18 to 25 minutes, depending on size of potatoes. Drain; let stand until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
  • Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices (remove skin, if desired). Place in large bowl; add celery. Drizzle dressing over; toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill until cold, at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Pancetta and potato salad can be made 1 day ahead. Cover pancetta; chill. Keep potato salad chilled. Bring pancetta to room temperature before continuing.
  • Sprinkle pancetta and chopped parsley over potato salad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are ideal for this recipe as they hold their shape well when roasted.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Aim for 1-inch cubes.
  • Parboil the potatoes: This step helps to remove excess starch and results in a more tender potato.
  • Roast the potatoes until golden brown: This will give them a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Use high-quality bacon or pancetta: This will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
  • Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This bacon and pancetta potatoes recipe is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
