Creamy Sherry & Cheese Sauce image

Delicious stirred through pasta as a pasta sauce. Can also be drizzled over chicken or pork. Creamy and thick and the addition of the chopped onion, mushroom and pancetta makes it quite substantial and filling. The amount of sherry is an estimation of what I use, feel free to be more generous if you prefer :-) Spend a little extra time on preparation to make sure the onion and mushrooms are really really finely chopped and sliced. This will serve 2 as a pasta sauce but many more as just a sauce to drizzle over meat.
