When a recipe calls for pancetta I normally use bacon as until recently pancetta wasn't readily available in our grocery stores and when I could find it I didn't want to pay the price! But for this recipe I used pancetta and I'm so glad I did. The sweet, smokey, salty taste was excellent with the crisp tender green beans. We loved this recipe and I'll make it again and again and again.

ReplyDeleteYour first grandchild! How exciting and how fun the shower must have been. Your beans look so good and I like that you left the pancetta in larger pieces. It was my first time using pancetta and I was shocked at the price! :) But, it was SO worth it.
