Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Set a large pot (at least 4 quarts) of cold water to boil. When the water reaches a boil, toss in a pinch of salt. When the water returns to a rolling boil, add the penne; cook until al dente.

  2. Step 2

    While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a pan and add the pancetta. Saute until the pancetta is a dark pink (be sure it does not turn crisp and golden).

  3. Step 3

    When the penne are cooked, drain them well (do not rinse) and transfer them to a warm bowl. Add the pecorino and an abundant amount of fresh pepper. Top with pancetta and oil, toss thoroughly and serve.
