Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is the first dish I had during our Rome trip in 2009. I had written the recipe down, but I lost it. I recreated this from memory, but I think it is pretty close to the original. I will sometimes remve the bacon once it is cooked and drain some grease away. If you are using pancetta this is not usually necessary.
