Easy & Flavorful Pasta Pancetta Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) package linguine pasta
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 6 ounces pancetta bacon, diced
• 5 shallots, chopped
• 2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 pinches freshly ground black pepper, or as needed
• 2 pinches dried oregano
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, about 11 minutes. Drain well, return the pasta to the pot, and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook until it starts to brown and crisp. Stir in shallots, mushrooms, garlic, pepper, and oregano; cook until the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Pour in chicken broth; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat, cover the skillet, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Strain the liquid from the pan into the cooked pasta; toss to coat evenly. Divide the pasta among individual serving plates, and top with equal portions of the pancetta and mushroom mixture. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper.
