Sounds great, kades. I have done something similar without the pancetta. It's going on my grocery list right now.

I use Pancetta because I don't care for the smoked bacon and Pancetta is smokeless.I find it in the deli section already diced, but can buy oh say 1/4 of a pound, then dice it myself.

Isn't pancetta a lot more expensive than bacon? It is here.

Not really. I buy just a small amount so It doesn't pinch to much. But you can use reg. bacon just blanch it forabout 2 min this will lessen the smokiness some.
