For an even richer flavor, consider using pancetta instead of bacon. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful touch of heat. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for a restaurant-worthy presentation. Adjust the amount of water depending on your desired sauce consistency.
