While waiting for water to boil: Heat oil in 9"saute' pan, add pancetta and cook till pieces separate and are a little crispy. Add onions and garlic and cook till translucent. Add tomatoes and pepper. Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally. By now the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook for APPROXIMATELY 4 minutes. After 4 minutes: Add shrimp to tomato sauce and turn off heat on shrimp. Don't worry there is enough heat to cook them to perfection. By the time the pasta's done the shrimp will be also. Continue cooking pasta for another 4 + minutes. Pull out a noodle and taste it. It should not crunch, it shouldn't be mushy. If need cook for another 2 minutes and test again. Drain pasta, and put in pasta bowl. Add 1/2 the tomato/shrimp sauce and stir in. Serve up and top servings with rest of sauce and grate some cheese over the top. Serve immediately
