Joanna Gaines Orecchiette Pancetta Recipe
A few weeks go I shared Joanna Gaines Mexican Party Salad Recipe and it got rave reviews! Now I would like to share my second recipe from the Magnolia Table Volume 2 cookbook. It is another easy dinner recipe and it was FABULOUS! Magnolia Table’s Orecchiette Pancetta Recipe!
Magnolia Table Recipe Series
The Magnolia Table cookbooks are amazing. And I am having a lot of fun sharing their recipes. I adore Joanna Gaines and think she is an amazing talent. Last year I shared the Zucchini Squash Strata Recipe and decided to expand on that and do several four part series! This is my second recipe of four for the winter series! And I think this one you and your family will love!
Magnolia Table's Orecchiette Pancetta Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb Orecchiette Pasta
- 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 4 ounces Pancetta or Bacon, Diced *I used thick cute bacon and used 8 ounces
- 1 medium Shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Minced Garlic *original recipe called for 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 8 ounces Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 1.5 cups Frozen Peas *original recipe suggested 1 cup
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp Minced Chives
- Salt/Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package. Drain and set aside when done.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the butter over medium heat. Add the pancetta or bacon and cook until crispy. Stirring occasionally. Approximately 4-6 minutes. Add shallot and reduce heat. Saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another minute or until fragrant.
- Drain grease from the pan and remove the bacon/pancetta mixture to a bowl.
- Melt remaining 2 tbsp of butter in pan over medium-high heat until it starts to bubble. Whisk in chicken broth and cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low. Add the Parmesan cheese and whisk until melted. Add the pancetta/bacon mixture, peas, lemon juice, chives salt and pepper. Whisk until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.
- Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss to coat.
- Garnish with extra minced chives and shredded Parmesan cheese! Then enjoy!

I love pancetta and my kids all love pasta. It would be nice to try a new pasta recipe for them other than the norm.

Kids will LOVE this recipe!
Brooke
This looks delicious! I will need to try this 🙂
Kelly
I hope you love it!

Yum, this looks so delicious! And it’s easy enough to cook with gluten-free pasta which I love.
Kelly
True! I had not thought of using gluten free pasta!!
Yanitza
This looks like an amazing dish! I wonder, can this recipe could be adjusted to make it vegetarian-friendly?
Kelly
That is an excellent question! I don’t know enough about vegetarian options! But I would think it could be done!
Kirsten
Just use veggie broth and no bacon should be fine 🙂
Tweenselmom
I’m all about veggies these days but bacon is welcome from time to time as a treat.
Kelly
Bacon is always good!
Kathy Kenny Ngo
Pretty sure this will be a hit with the kids and even adults!
Kelly
It was at our house!
Becky
This sounds delicious! I know pasta is pasta but I really like Orecchiette in particular. And panchetta is something I love when ordering out but I don’t really use it at home. I’m saving this recipe to try.
Kelly
I hope you enjoy it!

Kelly
I hope so!!!

I love Joanna Gaines collection at Target, but I didn’t realize she had cookbooks too, how fun! This recipe looks delicious. I love orecchiette, one of my favorite pasta shapes, and this preparation of it sounds so homey and tasty.
Kelly
I hope you try it! She has some amazing recipes!!!
Maartje van Sandwijk
Looks like a great dish! Might try making this for the kids 🙂
Kelly
I hope you do! I am sure they will love it!
Savanna
I have one question, I made it once and it turned out so good! The remaining times after that my sauce was broken and clumpy. I followed the recipe to a T! What am I doing wrong
Kelly
Honestly, the only thing I can think is the Parmesan cheese wasn’t fully blended. I have made it several times and melting Parmesan is always a challenge (in my opinion) and tastes constant blending. I have nit made this in a couple months, I am going to have to do it and see if I come up with any other solutions!!!!
Kirsten
Are your ingredients cold or room temperature? When mixing cold and hot you tend to struggle try setting them out for a bit before making?
Diane boyer
What would you serve with this meal?
Kelly
A side salad. Or you can use it as the side dish for steak or chicken cutlets!
