Creamy Pancetta Dressing Recipes

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.

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.

ICEBERG WEDGES WITH PANCETTA GORGONZOLA DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
• Stir the buttermilk, sour cream, and garlic in a medium bowl to blend; mix 2/3 of the cheese. Season the dressing with salt and pepper, to taste.
• (The dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Stir to blend before using, adding more milk to thin the sauce, if necessary.)
• Arrange each of 6 lettuce wedges on 6 plates. Spoon the dressing over the lettuce. Sprinkle with the pancetta and remaining cheese and serve.
