  • Cooks Tip:
  • * For an impressive touch, drizzle a little good-quality truffle oil over this and other Italian dishes. Be sure to refrigerate truffle oil to keep it fresh.
  • * To easily chop sun-dried tomatoes, use a kitchen scissors to snip the tomatoes into small pieces.
  • * Pancetta is an Italian bacon that is cured but not smoked. Flavorful and slightly salty, it’s sliced into rounds of varying thickness from a sausage-shaped roll. Pancetta is available in Italian markets and some
  • supermarkets.
  • * All that’s needed to finish this meal is a colorful green salad!
