Basil Tortellini in Tomato Sauce with Pancetta

Another week has passed, my second one working. Every friday I have to start becoming creative to make my weekly groceries, since I have to make sure we eat good, healthy and is easy to prepare, maybe not in the weekend but the rest of the days yes.

So after thinking a lot the coming days we will eat a combination of italian, spanish and dutch food. We started yesterday making tortellini (fresh pasta) with a fantastic tomato/pancetta sauce. So easy and so delicious.

The ingredients you need for 2 adults and 1 child are:

• 250 gr. fresh basil tortellini (maybe you might need more, depends how hungry you are)
• 100 gr. pancetta cut in small pieces
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 pot good quality peeled tomatoes (400 gr.)
• 1,25 dl double cream
• fresh chopped basil
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes or one small chopped chili pepper 

Prepare the tortellini following the instructions on the package.

To prepare the sauce bake in a pan with some olive oil the pancetta, garlic and onions until golden, about 5 minutes. Then add the pot tomatoes and chili flakes, set the fire in slow and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. After that add the basil and double cream, warm up all a bit. Serve with the tortellini and a bit of grated parmesan. Also very nice with a small salad and a fresh ciabatta.
