Chicago Creative-in-Residence, Laura Scherb, makes a fast and fabulous Pancetta Pasta with her finds from L&M Fine Foods. 

• Step 1

  Prepare the pasta and set aside, reserving about a cup of pasta water. 

• Step 2

  In a large pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove from pan and set aside. If you're vegetarian, simply skip this step and proceed to cooking the garlic!

• Step 3

  Add the olive oil to the pan, and cook the garlic over a medium-low heat until lightly browned and fragrant. 

• Step 4

  Add the Tomato Bliss Heirloom tomatoes and the reserved pasta water, and cook until slightly reduced. 

• Step 5

  Add the cooked pasta to the pan, and cook for a few moments to allow the sauce to stick to the pasta. 

• Step 6

  Add the grated parmesan cheese and the pancetta, if you are using it, and then serve.
