Ingredients

  • 400 g 14.1 oz Short Pasta
  • 1 Shallot
  • 75 g 2.6 oz Pancetta/Bacon
  • 1 head Radicchio
  • approximately 10 - 15 Black Olives

Instructions

  • Finely chop the shallot. Slice the radicchio into strips. Roughly chop the olives.
  • Boil a large pot of salted water.  Cook the pasta per packet instructions.
  • While waiting for the water to boil, start making the sauce. Heat 3 Tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan on a medium heat.
  •  Saute the shallot for a few minutes until it becomes translucent.
  • Add the pancetta and saute until it starts to brown.
  • Add the radicchio and olives, then cook them until the radicchio wilts. If the sauce is ready before the pasta is cooked, just take it off the heat.
