Penne with pancetta and tomatoes

When you have a busy day, but still you want to eat good and is of course nice and sunny outside, there is nothing better than a salad or like this a simple pasta. For this pasta I use my own tomatoes, they are now getting beautiful red in my garden, so I have a lot of them and this is the best way to eat them, after a salad of course.

What you need for 3 people, my daughter eats now almost like a grown up ...

• 1 chili pepper
• 100 gr. good quality pancetta (very thin)
• 1 chopped onion
• 600 gr tomatoes
• 275 gr penne
• Parmesan cheese 

Cut the chili pepper in small rings, if don't like very spice then make sure you clean the seeds. Chop the tomatoes in dices.

In a pan heat some olive oil, then bake the pancetta with the chili and the onions, until all is nice golden. Add the tomatoes, some pepper, salt and one table spoon sugar, let it cook slowly for about 30 minutes, stir every now and then.

Cook the pasta following the instructions on the package. Serve with the sauce, grated parmesan and a bit of dried or fresh basil. Perfect for the summer days!
