Jump to Recipe

This smoked pancetta and bean pasta recipe is also from Jamie Oliver's One: Simple One-Pan Wonders recipe book that we've just bought.   There's loads of delicious looking recipes in it...we plan to cook a few of them!

One of the sections in the book is 'frying pan pasta' - they're all cooked in a frying pan, serve 1 person and use fresh lasagne sheets that are cut into the appropriate shape for the recipe.

The end result is silky pasta squares in a delicious sauce flavoured with fresh tomatoes, smoky pancetta and comforting beans.  A perfect dish for when the weather starts to get a bit colder.

Tips

  • Pancetta – if you’re unable to get pancetta rashers, use around 36g smoked pancetta lardons instead.
  • Beans – pinto beans are a good substitute if you can’t get borlotti beans.
  • This smoked pancetta and bean pasta recipe can easily be adapted if you’re cooking for more people.

How to make this Smoked Pancetta and Bean Pasta

Ingredients

  • a drizzle of olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely sliced
  • 2 rashers of smoked pancetta, cut into 3cm squares (see Tips)
  • 4 sage leaves
  • 100g ripe cherry tomatoes (mixed-colour if you can get them), halved
  • a big pinch of black pepper
  • half a 400g tin borlotti beans along with some juice (see Tips)
  • 125g fresh lasagne sheets, cut into 3cm squares
  • 300ml boiled water
  • 10g parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • extra virgin olive oil, to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Put a 28cm frying pan on a high heat. Once hot, pour a little drizzle of olive oil into the pan, and add the garlic, pancetta and sage and cook for about 2 minutes until the garlic is lightly golden.
  2. Add the tomatoes along with a big pinch of black pepper, the beans and a splash of their juice. Scatter in the pasta, then carefully pour in enough boiling kettle water to just cover everything – about 300ml. Let it bubble away for 4 minutes, or until the pasta has absorbed most of the water and you’ve got a nice sauce, stirring regularly and loosening with an extra splash of water, if needed.
  3. Turn the heat off, stir in the parmesan and season to perfection. Finish with a kiss of extra virgin olive oil, if you like.
