Miss Eliza, yeah! So glad you enjoyed it–timing with the pasta is always tricky, so don’t beat yourself up too much

Well, I gave it a shot… though this being Minnesota I’m hard pressed to find pancetta (much less spicy! Heaven forbid something have some kick to it!)… and so I added some crushed red pepper since I couldn’t find fresh pepperoncino, either. BUT it was delicious! The pasta ended up a little overdone (I blame a diaper change mis-cooking) but it was still fabulous. Mangia!

Amanda, thanks for the back-up on the onions. I just love pancetta and onions together in general…what can I say?

What a heavenly post and recipe! My mouth is watering. I have never seen hot pancetta here – such a bummer. But we do have fabulous spicy sopressata, which I also love sliced thinly with bread. Unadulterated heaven. And PS, I’d go with the onions too. Why not after all? They add depth and savor without altering the basic flavor profile.

David, I’m sorry. Maybe I should send you a warning/reminder on Tuesdays?

Anno, well I *do* hope you got a great dinner out of this anyway

Maryann, lucky indeed, and thanks!

I’m lucky to be able to buy all these meats here in NY. We grew up eating all these things. Your pasta dish looks delicious

Whimper. Sigh.

Really, you need to warn people before they load pictures like this one.

Here I am, editing a dreadful set of admissions essays, with nothing in the house but some dried out chicken (rotisseried, and once delicious, but I think that was on Saturday) and some cooked egg noodles (now on their second or third re-heating). And so I think, I'll drop in on Sognatrice and see what is going on in Italy... then there's this, and oh, gosh, I love pancetta... and everything else in this dish.

Sniff. Sob.

I think I'm making my husband take us out for dinner tonight.

That pasta looks so utterly simple and so completely delicious. Yum.

Have I mentioned (repeatedly) how much I hate coming here on Wednesdays?

Flutter, sì sì! I’d love the recipe!!!

Frances, oh dear. I hope that didn’t hurt too much. You deserve some pasta to make you feel better
