Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Add salt.

Steep the saffron threads in the chicken stock over medium-low heat.

Cook pasta 5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup starchy water just before draining, Pasta will be flexible but hard at center.

Heat EVOO, a couple of turns of the pan, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and render 2-3 minutes; reduce heat a bit and add garlic and orange zest; stir a minute more. Add wine, reserved starchy cooking water and the saffron stock. Add drained pasta to the skillet and let it cook until liquid is mostly absorbed, 6-8 minutes (the pasta should remain al dente). Stir in butter, a handful of cheese, the mint and parsley.
