Campanelle and Pancetta in a Smoky Cheddar Goat Cheese Sauce

I made this to go with the barbecued ribs we had for dinner the other night.  Macaroni and Cheese is a classic meal to go with barbecued ribs, but I had Smoky Cheddar Goat Cheese, so I thought I’d put in a few  little twists.  The campanelle is a nice sturdy pasta that holds cheese well and the pancetta ups the smoky factor nicely.  The Smoky Cheddar Goat Cheese looked and tasted drier than I expected, so adding a little extra milk or cream was necessary.  However, in a sauce it was terrific tasting.  The cheese is Misty Creek Goat Dairy Cheddar Goat Cheese Smoked from U.S. Wellness Meats.  I didn’t want a thick creamy sauce because I thought it would overpower the pancetta, so it was more of a light cheese sauce – at least for me.

The barbecued ribs were so soft and tender, melt in your mouth delicious. I told my husband that we were probably way over our limit in portion size and could have shared it a little, but as we scarfed …
