Swede Pancetta Spaghetti Food

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.

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.

SWEDE & PANCETTA SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, then add the swede, onion and garlic and fry for 5 mins. Cover with a lid and cook for a further 10-15 mins, stirring so it doesn't stick, until the swede is completely soft. Set aside to cool, then blitz in a food processor or mash with the parmesan and a large pinch of seasoning. Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
• Cook the pasta in salted water for 1 min less than pack instructions, reserving a little of the cooking water. Meanwhile, use the frying pan you used for the sauce to fry the pancetta until crisp, around 5 mins. Add the thyme and fry for 1 min, then tip into the sauce.
• Using tongs, transfer the pasta to the sauce, add the reserved water, and give everything a good toss around the pan, so the pasta is well coated in the sauce. Season, then split between bowls, top with more parmesan and a big grind of black pepper to serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH PANCETTA AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 1/4 cups cooking water and then drain.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and pancetta in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon pepper, then add 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water and the spaghetti, tossing until combined. Stir in the ricotta and 2 tablespoons pecorino, tossing constantly to evenly coat. (The ricotta will seem thick at first, but as it combines with the hot cooking water it will create a creamy sauce.) Add more cooking water a few tablespoons at a time if the sauce is too thick or dry. Season with salt.
• Divide the spaghetti among bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons pecorino and 2 teaspoons pepper.

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.
