20-Minute Pancetta Protein Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound angel hair
    7-8 cloves of garlic (minced)
    1 package (20-30) cherry tomatoes (halved)
    1/4 cup of sun dried tomatoes (chopped)
    1 package of cubed pancetta
    2 tablespoons of olive oil
    3 tablespoons of butter
    1 cup white wine
    1 cup low sodium chicken broth
    1/4 cup coconut milk
    1 tablespoon of chopped basil (dried or fresh)
    1 tablespoon of chopped parsley (dried or fresh)
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    dash of salt & pepper
    1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (to top with)

Directions

  1. Set a large pot of salted water on high heat to boil.
  2. On a second burner set your sauté pan to medium/high heat, throw in your 2 tablespoons of olive oil and your pancetta, let sauté for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add your uncooked pasta to your water (set timer for 4 minutes if using angel hair — it cooks very fast).
  4. Add in your sun dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and a dash of salt and pepper to your sauce pan, and let sauté for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Remove/strain your pasta, put into a serving dish or bowl, and set off to the side while you finish your sauce.
  6. Add your butter, garlic, and spices into your sauté pan, and let cook for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Pour in your wine and chicken broth, mix well and let simmer for another 7 minutes.
  8. Turn heat to medium-low heat, pour in your coconut milk, and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  9. Turn off your burner and pour sauce over your cooked pasta, using tongs mix sauce into pasta fully.
  10. Sprinkle crumbled feta on top and enjoy!
