I made Ina Garten's favorite weeknight pasta and had an easy and delicious dinner ready in 30 minutes

Every chef has a go-to weeknight pasta.

Gordon Ramsay loves whipping up a 10-minute turkey and leek pasta every week for his kids.

Ina Garten prefers a more Italian style, one with bucatini, pancetta, and pecorino. “Everyone needs a few quick pasta dinners in their repertoire, and this one is really adaptable,” Garten wrote in “Go-To Dinners,” her most recent cookbook. “It’s wonderful as is, but you could also serve it with veal meatballs one night and with a big dollop of ricotta the next.” I love whipping up Garten’s pastas — I’ve even ranked them — so I knew I had to try this.
