A simple but fantastically good pasta dish! You cook the creamy pancetta and tomato sauce while the pasta is cooking. Don't be intimidated by the vodka, it takes the tomato flavor and sauce to a new level! The recipes make 4 servings.

200 gr diced pancetta (or bacon)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 dl vodka

2 dl grated parmesan cheese
parsley, chopped

Fry onion, garlic in the oil until it gets a little colour.
