Penne with a leek and "speck" bacon sauce.
"Speck" is a type of bacon from the German-speaking Tyrol region of Italy. Unlike regular bacon, "speck" does not require any additional cooking. It has a distinctive smoky and zesty scent, and a soft texture similar to Prosciutto. It can be found in an Italian deli, or substituted with either Prosciutto or regular bacon.
