Time 38m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 inch thick slice pancetta, diced into 1/4 inch pieces
3/4 cup onion, finely diced
2 cups canned Italian plum tomatoes, chopped (or can use fresh)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
salt
1 lb penne
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped fresh

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat butter and oil and saute pancetta until they brown, about four minutes.
  • Add onion and cook for four more minutes, until opaque.
  • Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the oil and pancetta fat separate from the tomatoes; you will be able to see this quite clearly. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile cook the penne until al dente. Drain and return to pot.
  • Add 1/3 of sauce and mix well. Transfer to large serving platter. Pour remaining sauce over all. Sprinkle cheese and parsley over all.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The sauce was too acidic for my taste and the pancetta was a bit too fatty.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less red pepper flakes.
