Pasta is one of my go to meals, especially when I am not sure what to make for dinner. Here at Casa Linda, the cook, that’s me, can never go wrong with making pasta for dinner, it always make my kids happy. My husband Ted like’s pasta, but he likes his pasta with meat so I added a little pancetta in the sauce to appease him. One think I also stock in my pantry is prepared spaghetti sauce, I buy a few varieties, but I do like Trader Joe’s, they have several to choose from and I like them all. I also purchase Marcella wine there, it is great in spaghetti sauce or with mushrooms, I just love the stuff! This recipe for “Penne Pasta with Pancetta” is perfect with a side salad, I now have over 6o to choose from on my web site with homemade dressings that complement each one. I love hearing from you - it really makes my day, so comment below or message me on Facebook.
