Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pound canned chopped tomatoes
1 pound fresh spaghetti, cooked until tender

In large saute pan, over medium heat, cook pancetta until crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove to paper towel lined plate.
Add olive oil to saute pan and heat over medium heat. Add onions to saute pan. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until wilted, about 4 minutes.
