Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Bring 8 cups salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the penne. Return the water to a boil and cook the pasta for 2 or 3 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta, toss with the olive oil, and set aside.
  2. In a very large saute pan over med-high heat, cook the diced pancetta for 6-8 minutes, or until crisp. Remove the pancetta from the saute pan and set it aside.
  3. Squeeze the pulp from the head of roasted garlic. Add it, and the chopped garlic to the pancetta oil in the pan and saute until the mixture begins to give off its aroma, 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add the wine and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until about 2 tablespoons of the liquid remain. Add the cream and cook for 4-5 more minutes, or until the cream thickens. Add half the Parmesan cheese and season the mixture with salt & pepper. Add the pasta and pancetta, mix together, and cook just until the pasta is heated through.
  4. Place the pasta on a serving platter and top with the remaining cheese and basil leaves.
  5. NOTE: If you can't find pancetta easily, substitute pepper bacon.
