Tips:
For a richer flavor, use more Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheese.
If you don’t have pancetta or bacon, you can use regular bacon or diced ham.
For a vegetarian version, omit the pancetta or bacon and use sautéed vegetables instead.
Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
