There should be enough fat on the pancetta so that doesn't happen. Deglazing it with the wine was a good idea though! I’ve not had that issue with the pancetta before.

I love the simplicity. I was searching for an arugula pasta recipe and I ran across your site. I'll definitely be trying more of your recipes. Thanks! Using a wok was a great tip. I'd never thought of that before. I found the pancetta stuck a bit, though, leaving some beautiful bits on the bottom of the pan. Any suggestions? The second time I made this, I had some extra cherry tomatoes so I threw them in before the garlic and deglazed the wok with a little pinot grigio after everything had softened. It solved the sticky pancetta problem, but wasn't really the same dish anymore. Great dish. I love the simplicity. I was searching for an arugula pasta recipe and I ran across your site.

There's a lot more on this in my post about making bacon. My mom recently made another batch and smoked it, but I have not tried it yet. I'll look for your gelato place, though I must admit to already having a favorite; Frigidarium. Hi Kathy- Bacon is usually cured and then smoked and Pancetta (Italian Bacon) is usually just cured.

I grow it in the Fall, and I sort of run out of ideas after awhile, so I will definitely make this. Can you tell me - is there any difference between pancetta and bacon? Have a great trip to Rome! I am jealous! I know you like gelato - be sure to go to the little gelato place that is around to the right of the Pantheon - to the right as you face the Pantheon from the piazza.

The pancetta adds a lot of flavor (and salt) to the dish. Without it, it might be a little bland. You might try adding something like an oil cured olive or something else with a strong flavor to compensate. Are you vegetarian? The pancetta adds a lot of flavor (and salt) to the dish.
