Tasty Tips

For 2 servings, this recipe can easily be cut in half.  This dish is a flavourful version of classic Italian pasta all’ Amatriciana. The Italian original utilizes guanciale, or salt-cured pork jowl, instead of pancetta. Pancetta is a cured, unsmoked pork belly. It is usually available near the specialty cheeses in the refrigerated deli section of the grocery store.  Chopped bacon would be a great substitute for the pancetta.
