Heat the oil in a large pan, add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, over a gentle heat for some 3 to 4 minutes until the pancetta is golden but not crisp.

Add the bay leaf, thyme, chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and stir.
Step 7
Add the stock and freshly ground black pepper.

Bring to boil and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour or so until sauce thickens a bit.
