  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the pancetta into small pieces, finely slice the red onion, and mince the garlic.

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

    Pour in the canned pomodoro and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
