Ingredients for Penne with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Rocket

110g thinly sliced pancetta, finely chopped
1 cucharada de aceite de oliva
1 cebolla mediana, finamente picada
3 dientes de ajo grandes, finamente picados
160ml de nata doble
120ml drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
140g baby rocket (8 cups), coarsely chopped
450g penne rigate
80g grated parmesan plus additional for serving

How to make Penne with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Rocket

Cook pancetta in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer pancetta with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet. Add onion, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and pancetta and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then add rocket and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute.

Meanwhile, cook penne in a pasta pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 240ml cooking water, then drain pasta.

Add pasta and cheese to skillet and toss with sauce. Thin sauce with some of reserved cooking water, then stir in basil.
