This ridiculously simple recipe is amazingly delicious!! The pancetta and shallots make the dish so fragrant. We've also used it with asparagus with the same excellent results!

Tasty, but too oily.

I made this recipe for a potluck and everyone liked it. The pancetta was different, but good. I just prefer bacon instead.

Great recipe! I found italian green beans (the flat ones) and I did not have pancetta so I used bacon (microwavable type - no fat residue). I fried the shallot in 2 teaspoons of olive oil and added at the end one garlic clove sliced. One think you must remember when using bacon- you need to serve the beens right away or else the bacon will not taste crispy. Great change for my veggie side dish! thank you

For convenience, I used frozen green beans instead of fresh. For flavor, I cooked them in chicken broth. I liked the taste of the shallots and pancetta, but I think it needed something more. Next time I'll add some red pepper flakes for a little heat.

Very good! I had to use ham as the stores out here do not carry any "specialty products" s they told me. Still turned out great. I crisped it, added shallots and yum!

This was a great recipe. The pancetta bacon has got such a unique and delicious taste! In the future I think I will use a little broth to cook the beans in for a touch more flavor...but these were a huge hit!

This was great, and very easy to prepare. I reckon it could do with some extra pancetta, but other than that it's perfect. Oh, I also omitted the addl salt as it was not needed, just seasoned with pepper.

Very nice. I made this vegetarian by using some peppered deli "meat," which probably didn't do the dish justice, of course. After finding out more about pancetta, I might add some nutmeg to make the substitute more authentic next time.

I love this great simple recipe. I added a spash of Balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp of chopped garlic. the addition of pecans cooked with the shallots would be awesome.
