    Omg! Absolutely amazing!! I used thick diced pieces of prosciutto since I didn't have pancetta on hand.. Still came out great. Hubby and I both fell in love. My only modifications was I let it cook a little longer at 425 and I used less olive oil in the dressing. Wonderful dish!

    One of our favorite side add-ons! Perfect combination of sweet, salty and flavor in a salad. The fennel and pancetta gives it that rich body flavor that differentiates it from your typical spring mix. Can't rave enough about it.

    Delicious!! I have made it 3 times now, and each time, I tell my husband how I wish I could eat all 4 servings myself (but I was nice and shared with him.

    Thick sliced pancetta worked beter for me than thin sliced (but sometimes thin sliced pancetta is all you can find. Halfway through cooking it was very liquidy and the pancetta was not caramelizing, so I switched my oven to convection and bumped the temp down to 375. The pancetta browned right up. I also lined my pan with foil under the parchment to make clean-up easy.

    This is a regular meal at my home. I use bacon instead of pancetta, to cut down on costs. I also add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bacon and fennell before roasting to give it some bite. My husband loves it. We serve it as a main course to bulk up on our veggies during the week. Delicious!

    very good, makes dreary salad more exiting. The carmalized pancetta was amazing, the only thing I would change next time is a bit more honey, it was a little too tart for my taste. but I think another 1/2 tsp of honey will perfect it for me. Definatley worth making again!
