"I am trying to learn how to cook for my fiancee. This recipe was so simple to make. It is great for a new cook because it uses a lot of the basic principles that you need to learn during the beginning stages of cooking. Unlike some of the more critical reviewers, we love bacon and the tomato paste and garlic were just enough to accent the great taste of the pancetta. We love wine, so we paired it with "The Blind Watchmaker" by the Infinite Monkey Theorem Vineyard out of Colorado. Delicious!
