Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then arrange the pine nuts on the sheet in a single layer. Toast in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the nuts turn a light golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  2. Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain, but reserve the cooking water. Return the pasta to the pot. Set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the pancetta and cook for about 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook for another 3 minutes until softened. Add the pine nuts and 1 tablespoon of the sage to the pan and cook for another minute to warm the ingredients. Turn off the heat.
  4. Add the pancetta mixture to the al dente pasta in the pot. Add 1 cup of reserved water, cheese, and butter, then toss together to coat the pasta and melt the butter.
  5. Season to taste with salt and a generous amount of pepper, then garnish with the remaining sage. Serve hot.

Notes

  • To store, put your pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, place the pasta in a freezer-safe container and it will keep for up to 2 months.
  • For reheating, thaw in the refrigerator overnight if frozen, then warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of reserved pasta water or broth to maintain moisture.
