Pasta With Cream And Pancetta Food

SPAGHETTI WITH CREAMY PANCETTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat the olive oil in a deep-sided skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta to the pan and cook until lightly browned. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the onions; cook until softened. Stir in the peas to heat through, and then add the Parmesan and cream.
• Cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste a noodle before draining to make sure it's cooked. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water, and add the pasta to the sauce. Stir to coat the pasta in the sauce, adding the reserved pasta water if necessary to thin out the sauce. Taste, and then season with some salt and pepper. Serve the pasta with extra Parmesan.

PENNE WITH PANCETTA AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, cook pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until browned but not crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Pour pancetta grease out of the skillet, and add butter. Increase heat to medium-high and stir in sliced mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid. Add the minced garlic, and cook 2 more minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in cream and Italian seasoning. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• To serve, toss the cooked penne with the sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

PASTA PANCETTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• In a large skillet, cook pancetta in oil until just beginning to brown. Stir in shallots, garlic, and mushrooms: cook for one minute. Season with pepper and oregano, and pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat , and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover, and continue to simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Strain liquid from pan into cooked linguine, and add olive oil. Toss to coat. Divide pasta onto individual serving plates, and top with equal portions of pancetta and mushrooms. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan.

PASTA WITH CREAM AND PANCETTA

Steps:

• Boil the pasta in lots of salty water, the more water you use, the better the pasta will be, even for a small quantity.
• Drain the pasta and let it stand until your sauce is ready.
• To save time, start preparing your sauce while the pasta is boiling.
• 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.
• Toss the pasta with the fried onions, garlic and pancetta.
• Pour cream over it all, as much as you like (I use about 100 ml).
• Season with salt and pepper, according to taste.
• Voila, your delicious meal is ready!

PEA & PANCETTA CREAMY PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• While the water is heating, fry the diced pancetta in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Drain excess fat from the skillet.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until it is "al dente".
• Add the garlic to the skillet and stir for a minute but do not let it color.
• Add the cream, peas, and season with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil and cook a couple of minutes to thicken.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the pasta from pot and add to the skillet. (Do not worry about adding a little pasta water as well!)
• Stir continuously over high heat until the pasta is well coated with sauce, and the sauce is thick.
• Serve in individual bowls topped with some freshly cracked black pepper and pass the grated cheese.

CREAMY PANCETTA PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the pappardelle according to the package directions.
• While the pasta is cooking, put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pancetta until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the cream. When the cream is hot, add the Parmesan and stir.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Stir well and season with some pepper. I find it does not usually need salt because of the salty pancetta and Parmesan. Serve immediately. I like to serve it with an arugula salad.

LINGUINE WITH SHRIMP AND PANCETTA

Steps:

• In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta until just al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown, 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• In same skillet add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
• Add the wine, salt, red pepper, lemon juice, lemon zest, pancetta and shrimp. Bring mixture to a boil and cook about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir frequently. Shrimp should become pink and cooked through. DO NOT OVER COOK.
• Add the parsley and stir to combine.
• In a large bowl, combine pasta with shrimp mixture. Toss well to combine.
• Add parmesan and toss well to thoroughly combine. Let set for 3 minutes until pasta absorbs all the liquid.
• Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

FETTUCCINE WITH PANCETTA AND FENNEL

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pancetta and garlic; sauté until garlic is pale golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup chopped fennel fronds, fennel wedges, fennel seeds and crushed red pepper. Cover and cook until fennel wedges are soft, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add cream; cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook fettuccine in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Toss pasta with fennel mixture and enough reserved cooking water to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing Parmesan cheese separately.

PANCETTA PASTA (EASY 4 INGREDIENT RECIPE)

Steps:

• Boil water in a large pot, adding plenty of salt (it should taste like sea water) when it comes to a boil.
• Then add the pasta and cook as directed.
• While the pasta is cooking, sauté the pancetta in a large pan with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
• Cook for a few minutes, turning so they cook evenly, then turn off the burner.
• When the pasta is almost ready, use a strainer spoon to remove the pasta and place it directly into the pancetta in the pan, OFF THE HEAT. Do not drain the pasta and do not throw away the water.
• Continue until all the pasta is in the pancetta pan, then add the grated cheese.
• Stir, and add the parsley and some pasta water as needed. It will form a bit of a creamy sauce.
• When everything is mixed well, serve immediately with extra Parmigiano Reggiano cheese on top.
