Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the spaghetti

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.

2
Prepare the pancetta and pineapple

Cut the pancetta into 1/4-inch thick slices, then cut the slices into 1/4-inch wide strips. Cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch chunks.

3
Sauté the pancetta

In a large skillet, cook the pancetta over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

4
Sauté the garlic and pineapple

Mince the garlic cloves. In the same skillet, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, then add the pineapple chunks and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

5
Combine the ingredients

Add the cooked spaghetti, crispy pancetta, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the pineapple. Toss to combine, adding some of the reserved pasta cooking water if needed to loosen the sauce.

6
Add basil and Parmesan

Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the torn basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.

7
Serve

Divide the pineapple pancetta pasta among 4 serving plates. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and basil leaves, if desired. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in this unique pasta dish!
