Pasta in a Creamy Pancetta and Leek Sauce Recipe

• 15-20 minutes to make
• Serves 2

This sauce does literally take as long to make, as it takes the pasta to cook! Also you only need 4 main ingredients. But first, a little bit of history behind the recipe: When I was at University, I had many different jobs to keep me going and to pay for my fees. Read more One of these jobs, involved working in the kitchen of a very tiny Italian restaurant. It had 15 seats, one chef, one waiter and one Sous-Chef/Waitress-me!! I called myself a Sous-Chef, because it made me feel better! My job in the kitchen was to basically watch the chef cook in awe, whilst I chopped the veg or washed the dishes. Now, the most popular dish in the menu was this recipe! Seems funny looking back, because the chef used to say to me that no matter what went wrong with all his puritan Italian recipes, he could always fall back on this one recipe. It took precisely 10 minutes to cook and it is without a doubt, my favourite Italian Fast Food Pasta Version ever! See less
