  • If you don't have pancetta, you can substitute bacon. Just be sure to cook it until it is crispy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot with the pasta. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
