But not only the most famous rag\u00f9 is red. Even if in Italy there are many different recipes of rag\u00f9, usually everywhere in Italy rag\u00f9 is a red sauce made with tomato sauce (passata di pomodoro).<\/p>\n For this reason, the Italian title of this same recipe is: Ricetta del Rag\u00f9 di Pancetta (Pancetta Rag\u00f9 Recipe), you see I didn\u2019t write with Passata.<\/p>\n Italian people know that if it\u2019s rag\u00f9, rag\u00f9 is red and in case it\u2019s white (without Tomato sauce), I have to specify it.<\/p>\n Among pasta sauce recipes is one of the quicker to make and cook.<\/p>\n It needs few ingredients and just about 30 mins of time. In a very short time, you\u2019ll have sauce for pasta. But when I can, I prefer to cook it one o some days in advance.<\/p>\n Its taste will be richer!<\/p>\n If I cook abundant rag\u00f9, I preserve it, covered, in the fridge for some days, or I make little portions and I store them into the freezer.<\/p>\n This kind of sauce is perfect to flavor all kind of short pasta shapes and those go in the oven to make pasta al forno.<\/p>\n Sometimes I use it also for crostini and to fill tigelle.<\/p>\n And now, I\u2019m waiting for you in the kitchen. In case of doubts or questions, I wait for you in the comments below.<\/p>\n Buona pasta! Monica<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pancetta is not bacon. So remember that bacon gives a different taste to the original recipe. Anyway, if you want a more strong flavor, substitute 50 g of fresh pancetta with bacon.<\/p>\n fresh pancetta, 200 g Directions<\/p>\n Clean vegetables and chop them one at time finely, as to make soffritto.<\/p>\n Chop pancetta finely.<\/p>\n In a pot, place a little of oil and butter and brown gently onion for 2 minutes on a medium heat, add in celery, carrot a pinch of salt and pepper and cook on medium-low heat for 3 mins, stirring.<\/p>\n Add in also little pieces of pancetta and stir until all ingredients are well mixed.<\/p>\n Now, add water and passata.
