Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon basil-infused olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1/4 pound pancetta chunk, cut into 1/3-inch dice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small jar artichokes hearts in marinade, drained, coarsely chopped, marinade liquid reserved
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 pound black fettuccine pasta
Instructions
- Pour the oil in a medium skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta and set aside. Add the garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the artichokes and saute, stirring, about 3 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over moderately-high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, following the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
- Add the pasta, 2 tablespoons of the artichoke marinade and half the pancetta to the pan (if the pasta seems dry, add a little bit of the cooking liquid). Season with salt and pepper and toss until combined and heated through. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with the remaining pancetta and a drizzle of olive oil.
- BYOC: This dish would also be fantastic with some sauteed calamari on top and would look beautiful. The contrast of the black and white would knock your guest’s socks off.

Xlnt! So different and sexy!
Delicious!! I substituted pancetta with thick sliced bacon. It may have altered the taste somewhat but the wife loved it. This was served with Crispy Skin Salmon. And really, isn’t that what counts?
delicious!!!
Yes the pasta was wonderful(as are all her recipes but my 5 star rating is for Claire herself!HER FOOD IS ALWAYS WONDERFUL!No mistakes in the recipes,cooking times are accurate and they always taste great.She manages to put out amazing recipes with only 5 ingredients!I can’t even imagine what she could do if she was not bound by the 5 ingredient rule!You rock Claire.
this was great
Loved this recipe with the Crispy Skin Salmon. Bacon could be substituted for the pancetta and it would still be delicious.
This will be the second time I made it in a week. We love it. So much flavor!!!
This is pretty good. First time watching a show, making the recipe and rating it all in one day. No need, as she said on the show, to cook the pancetta in oil. In fact so much oil rendered out that I discarded half of it before sauteeing the garlic. Also pancetta takes more than 3-4 minutes to crisp.I added the marinade to the pan while cooking the garlic, as she did on the show.No need for more olive oil at the end. I used some (~1/2 tsp) dried basil coooked with the garlic and marinade since I had no basil oil.
