In my efforts to not buy groceries right before I leave my kitchen for a couple weeks, I decided to use what I had to make a pasta dish for dinner. I had french bread from HEB and their bread tastes best when drizzled with the olive oil, salt, pepper and baked. It's so stinkin' good! So I basically had a ton of carbs for dinner...but I didn't have to buy groceries, so I guess that's ok.
So in the fridge, I had most of a wedge of Parmesan cheese, about 1/4 cup cubed pancetta and sun-dried tomatoes and heavy cream. These lead to an amazing alfredo-esque sauce.
1 table spoon olive oil
1/4 cup cubed pancetta
just less than 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, cut into small pieces & with oil
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup white wine
1 1/4 cup fresh, shredded parmesan cheese
1. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook for about 5 minutes. Its kinda like bacon, so cook until the fat starts to cook off some.
2. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and their oil and heat mix together.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the pan cool some before adding the cream. Add the cream and mix everything together.
4. Add 1/4 cup white wine and mix. Let the alcohol cook off some...about 3 minutes.
5. Add the parmesan cheese a little bit at a time so that the cheese melts and makes a lovely saucey-ness.
Pour over whatever pasta you have on hand and toss it together and you have a fabulous meal! I like that the tomatoes are sweet and just a little tangy! So good!
Happy cooking, y'all!
