Ina Garten’s Pancetta Pasta: Classy Snack or Dinner Flex?
After a long day of pretending to be an adult, our hero dove into Ina Garten's favorite weeknight pasta. With classic Italian vibes from bucatini and pancetta to a splash of Chianti, it sounds fancy but only took 30 minutes because 'everyone needs a few quick pasta dinners in their repertoire,' per the goddess Garten. Pro tip: using more pancetta than recommended is basically the culinary version of 'extra fries, please.' Add a little crushed red pepper and fresh basil, and you’ve transformed a lockdown snack into a makeshift vacation on a plate.

Why does cooking Ina Garten's weeknight pasta feel like prepping for a Netflix cooking competition instead of a casual Tuesday? Also, yes I pan-fried 50% more pancetta because rules are for peasants.
Making this pasta is like assembling IKEA furniture except you get pancetta instead of 80 screws and slightly less frustration. Fun fact: Italian pecorino cheese > Allen wrench.
