Still stuck at home? Cook this easy pasta with pancetta mixed to a cream of potatoes and forget your sorrows!
I like potatoes a lot in any cooking style, but I do enjoy my regular fix of bacon or pancetta… so I decided to combine the 2 to create a nuclear bomb!
We are going to boil the potatoes first and then mash them into a cream with the grated Pecorino cheese. We are then mixing this potato cream with a generous portion of Rigatoni ‘al dente’ and a block of pancetta cut into small squares. Getting goosebumps?! Cook it and eat it right now then!
