1
Cook the Macaroni
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare the Meat
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
3
Sauté the Onion
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Make the Cream Sauce
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and grated pecorino cheese. Cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
5
Combine and Serve
Add the cooked macaroni to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with additional pecorino cheese and cracked black pepper if desired.
