How to Make Linguine With Shrimp And Pancetta

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add diced pancetta and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove pancetta from skillet and set aside, leaving rendered fat in the pan.
  4. Add minced shallots to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  5. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  6. Pour in white wine, salt, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Add shrimp and reserved pancetta to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  8. Stir in chopped parsley.
  9. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to combine with the shrimp mixture. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
  10. Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl. Stir in Parmesan cheese until well combined.
  11. Let stand for 3 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb the sauce.
  12. Garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately.
