Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pieces are lightly crisp, about 5–6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Pour off all but about 1 tsp of the fat from the skillet.

Return the skillet to medium heat and add the diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
