Posted by popular demand. Anything with pancetta, butter, & olive oil is bound to be delicious!
Courtesy of the cookbook Pasta.
Ingredients:
8 pancetta slices
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 scallions, sliced
1 lb dried pasta (tubes or shapes)*
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
salt, black pepper
additional grated Parmesan to serve
Chop pancetta into bite size pieces
Cook pancetta, turning frequently, in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned & crisp, 10 mins
Drain on paper towels
Pour off excess fat from skillet
Add butter & olive oil to skillet & melt over medium heat
Add scallions & cook, stirring constantly, until just soft, 2 mins
Meanwhile cook pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water, until firm to the bite
Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water
Add pasta with Parmesan & pancetta to scallions
Toss well to coat, adding reserved water as needed
Add salt & pepper to taste
Serve immediately with additional Parmesan
* according to my pasta book - the shape of the noodle used is based on the recipe. Apparently the taste, texture, & ingridents all determine which kind of noodle shape is best.
