Preparation

Cook fusilli in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water according to packet directions. Drain and return to pan, covering with a lid.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a small frying pan and sauté pancetta for 4 minutes, until golden. Set pancetta aside until cool enough to handle, then tear into large pieces.

Meanwhile, add onion to pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Increase heat to high, add radicchio with ½ cup water and cook for 4 minutes, until wilted. Add vinegar, season to taste and set aside.

Add onion mixture to pasta and toss on high heat for 1 minute. Sprinkle with cracked black pepper and serve.
