Heat the oil in a frying pan add the pancetta and sauté for 5 mins or until golden and the fat has run out. Add the garlic and tomatoes, sauté for 2 mins, then add the chilli, wine and sugar. Cover and simmer for 5 mins.

Place the watercress on a board and use a knife to very roughly chop it; place the watercress in a colander.
