How to Make Fettuccini With Pancetta And Tomato Cream Sauce

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.

  3. Transfer pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the skillet.
  4. Add olive oil to the skillet with the pancetta fat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  5. Stir in crushed tomatoes, white wine, and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until sauce slightly thickens. Stir in chopped basil.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  9. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with extra basil if desired.
