Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

3 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, torn into 3-inch pieces

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 pound porcini mushrooms, brushed clean and quartered

2 plum tomatoes, cored and diced

1/4 cup white wine or vermouth

1 12-ounce can evaporated milk

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 pound whole-wheat fettuccine

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook, turning, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate; set aside.

Add onion, garlic, and mushrooms to pan. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 2 minutes.

Add wine and reduce by half, scraping up any bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Pour in milk and return pancetta to pan. Gently simmer until sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in well-salted boiling water according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain pasta and toss with sauce. Add reserved pasta water to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with grated Parmesan.
