Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1½ cup fresh shelled peas (about 1½ pounds un-shelled)
  • 1 pound of your favorite cheese filled pasta
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces of finely diced pancetta
  • 1 peeled garlic clove, optional
  • 2 tbsp of chopped mixed herbs such as chives, mint, and parsley
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and let boil for 90 seconds. Scoop out the peas and place them in to a bowl of ice water. Drain and set aside.
  2. Bring the pot back up to a boil. Drop the pasta and cook a couple of minutes less than the instructions on the package.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter, pancetta and garlic clove. Cook until the pancetta just starts to turn golden, about 3 minutes.
  4. Drain the pasta and add it right into the skillet with the pancetta. Add the peas. Toss to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the pasta starts to absorb the sauce and everything is well combined.
  5. Transfer to a platter or to plates. Top with herbs and freshly grated Parmesan. Serve.
