Today’s Dish: Spaghetti alla Panna with Crispy Pancetta and Sage

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a cozy and indulgent recipe that’s perfect for a chilly autumn evening. This Spaghetti alla Panna with Crispy Pancetta and Sage is a creamy pasta dish with a delightful balance of flavors that will surely warm your soul. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• 200g spaghetti
• 100g pancetta, diced
• 10 fresh sage leaves
• 150ml heavy cream
• 50g parmesan cheese, grated
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• skillet
• wooden spoon
• cheese grater

Start by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the diced pancetta. Cook until the pancetta is crispy and golden brown, then remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

In the same skillet, add the fresh sage leaves and cook them until they are fragrant and crispy. Remove the sage leaves and set them aside with the pancetta. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Let the cream reduce slightly before adding the grated parmesan cheese, stirring until it has melted and the sauce has thickened.

Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the spaghetti in bowls, topped with the crispy pancetta and sage leaves for a delicious contrast of textures and flavors.

One handy tip for this recipe is to slightly undercook the spaghetti before adding it to the creamy sauce. This way, the pasta can finish cooking in the sauce, absorbing all the luxurious flavors and becoming perfectly al dente.
