5. Brown the pancetta for a couple of minutes, then add the artichoke cream and 3-4 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water .
6. Heat the cream for another couple of minutes, then turn off the heat.
7. When the tagliatelle are cooked, drain them keeping a little of their cooking water. Pour them into the pan and sauté them with the sauce.
