Pasta With Cream and Pancetta

• penne↗200 g

  (or any other type of pasta you like)

• pancetta200 g

  (or a few slices of bacon, diced)

• large onion↗1

  finely chopped

• garlic cloves↗2 -3

  finely chopped

• single cream

  (or double, if you like it heartier)

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Boil the pasta in lots of salty water, the more water you use, the better the pasta will be, even for a small quantity.

2. 2

   Drain the pasta and let it stand until your sauce is ready.

3. 3

   To save time, start preparing your sauce while the pasta is boiling.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Toss the pasta with the fried onions, garlic and pancetta.

6. 6

   Pour cream over it all, as much as you like (I use about 100 ml).

7. 7

   Season with salt and pepper, according to taste.

8. 8

   Voila, your delicious meal is ready!
