Yes, I’d say the 2 tsp of cayenne would certainly get one’s attention 🙂
MMM you had me at pancetta. The bacon is a bonus. You have my full attention! I would really like to eat a large plateful of this right now.
A spicy pasta sound incredible. What is streaky bacon? I’m glad you included the bacon and pancetta instead of the dried pork cheeks. I don’t know where I’d find that.
Oh my god,
thats a great recipe. I think I’ll cook it on the weekend.
Thanks for it!!
