First you need to get the water boiling to cook the pasta! Bring a pot of water to boil. Then add a couple big pinches of salt. This is crucial to a good pasta, you must cook it in salty water!

How much pasta to use? Simple, take out a bowl and fill it half way - that is usually the perfect amount to serve per person. Add a lot of salt to the water once it boils before adding pasta.

Everything you need. If you're lucky to have a Trader Joes near by, then you can easily buy already diced pancetta. If not, your local meat shop should have it!

Put a pan over medium to high heat. Add the pancetta and a couple twist of your pepper grinder. Pancetta is all about pepper but American versions seem to lack the pepper flavor of the Italian stuff.

This recipe is for 1 serving so you only need a little onion. You can use red or white - I had red so that's what I used. Double this recipe for 2 or more servings. Diced the onion and set aside.

This is how the pancetta and onions should look. Not too crispy and over cooked. Add 1 tbsp olive oil the pan then heat it up, just before you add the pasta.
