Pancetta Recipes

Luis Said:

What can I use instead of a food processor ?

We Answered:

You can use your blender but you may find that this mixture is too dry for the blender so you will most likely need to add the extra oil that the recipe mentions just to get it to move around in the blender.

Alternatively, you could try adding a couple of tablespoons of room temperature chicken or vegetable broth before adding extra oil. This may help the mixture move around better without having to make it too oily.

You could substitute anything in pasta, you could just use chicken, beef, extra veggies anything you like. It will make no difference, except pancetta tastes good!

We Answered:

Your substitute would be bacon.

All pancetta is is bacon, just not smoked, and the foodnetwork.
