Steps:
- Boil the pasta in lots of salty water, the more water you use, the better the pasta will be, even for a small quantity.
- Drain the pasta and let it stand until your sauce is ready.
- To save time, start preparing your sauce while the pasta is boiling.
- For the sauce: in a frying pan, fry the onions and garlic with the pancetta until the onions are golden brown and the pancetta is crispy. Do not use more than a few drops of oil, or even none at all, because the pancetta will give you plenty of that.
- Toss the pasta with the fried onions, garlic and pancetta.
- Pour cream over it all, as much as you like (I use about 100 ml).
- Season with salt and pepper, according to taste.
- Voila, your delicious meal is ready!

SPAGHETTI WITH CREAMY PANCETTA SAUCE
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Heat the olive oil in a deep-sided skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta to the pan and cook until lightly browned. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the onions; cook until softened. Stir in the peas to heat through, and then add the Parmesan and cream.
- Cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste a noodle before draining to make sure it's cooked. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water, and add the pasta to the sauce. Stir to coat the pasta in the sauce, adding the reserved pasta water if necessary to thin out the sauce. Taste, and then season with some salt and pepper. Serve the pasta with extra Parmesan.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the pappardelle according to the package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking, put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pancetta until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the cream. When the cream is hot, add the Parmesan and stir.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Stir well and season with some pepper. I find it does not usually need salt because of the salty pancetta and Parmesan. Serve immediately. I like to serve it with an arugula salad.

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to directions and drain.
- Meanwhile, saute pancetta and garlic in olive oil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat and add cream and sage.
- Stir and pour sauce over linguini and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Look for fresh pancetta that is not too fatty, and use a heavy cream that is at least 35% fat.
- Do not overcook the pasta. Cook it al dente, or slightly firm to the bite, to ensure the best texture.
- Reserve some of the pasta cooking water before draining. This water can be used to thin out the sauce if it becomes too thick.
- Add the pancetta to the pan before the onions. This will help to render the fat from the pancetta and flavor the onions.
- Cook the onions until they are soft and translucent. This will help to bring out their sweetness and flavor.
- Add the cream and Parmesan cheese to the pan and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the pasta with the sauce until it is evenly coated.
- Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
