Macaroni With Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Pancetta Sauce image

This is the weeknight version of my Recipe#368572- same great flavour but quicker and easier to make. If you use another type of pasta, you may need 2 cups as macaroni is small and dense. Also feel free to substitute bacon for the pancetta- it works just as well.

1 tablespoon olive oil
