Instructions

Place a large frying pan on the stove; turn heat to just under medium and fry:

• 2-3 tbsp. olive oil,
• 1 cooking onion (diced),
• 2 cloves garlic (minced, or added whole and removed before browning),
• ½ tsp. salt and ½ tsp. black or red chili pepper (to taste).

When the onion looks good (cooked yet crunchy), add:

• 1 cup (250g) diced pancetta or speck (smoked prosciutto).

Saute for a minute, then add:

• 1 cup mini (pearl) bocconcini cheese,
• 1 cup Swiss gruyere cheese (grated),
• sprinkle of salt (to bring out the flavour of the cheese).

Let the cheese melt a few minutes, then add:

• 1 cup table cream,
• 2 cups diced fresh tomatoes.

Lightly simmer until the sauce looks smooth (3-4 minutes). Toss with 1 lb. cooked pasta (linguini or bow ties) along with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with a little more pepper.
