Michele and I saw a recipe in of all places, a kitchen catalogue the other day and tried it with a few modifications. The fresh herbs make the dish. If you don't have these exact herbs, improvise.

Italian sausage with a late summer veggie sounds really good right now. Try this for an easy dinner.

Guanciale is made by drying the meat from a hog's jowls. Though the resulting meat is leaner than traditional pork pieces, it has a noticeably richer flavor.

Of course, the best way to prepare this dish is with fresh truffles grated over the top of buttered pasta. However, if truffles are not in season, this is an excellent way to prepare a simple but decadent pasta.

This is a perfect pasta to make when the grill is still in it's summer time position and the strawberry tomatoes & basil are reaching their peak. After you start grilling tomatoes, you won't stop. They are great with pasta, as an antipasti, or with fish and anything else that comes off the grill.

Pancetta, salt-cured pork belly, has a richness that is well balanced with the earthiness of squash in this pasta dish.
