Rosemary Orange and Onion Pasta

Submitted by Messy44

"Here is a quick and refreshing pasta dish that is easy. It is a nice change from the usual pastas. Uses mostly items you probably already have, except Pancetta, but you could substitute bacon or any leftover grilled meat for that and it would still be super. Next time I plan to use fresh rosemary. Enjoy."
