Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds fresh peas in pod or one 10-ounce box frozen baby peas
1 pound sugar snap peas and/or snow peas
1/2 pound sliced pancetta or 1/4 pound sliced bacon
2 shallots
1 pound dried farfalle or rotini
3 tablespoons olive oil
Accompaniment: freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Shell fresh peas if using. Diagonally cut sugar snaps and/or snow peas into thirds. Finely chop pancetta and shallots separately.
  • Fill a 6-quart pasta pot three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for peas and pasta. Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water.
  • Cook fresh or frozen peas in boiling water until tender, about 2 minutes, and with a slotted spoon transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Cook sugar snaps and/ or snow peas in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes, and with slotted spoon transfer to ice water. Reserve water in pot over low heat, covered. Drain peas in a colander and transfer to a bowl.
  • In a deep 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook pancetta in oil, stirring, until golden brown and edges are crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in shallots and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Return water in pot to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente and ladle out and reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta in colander and add to pancetta mixture with peas, 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat mixture over low heat, gently tossing (and adding more pasta water as needed if mixture becomes dry), until just heated through.
  • Serve pasta with Parmigiano-Reggiano.

This dish was delicious! I made it for my family and they loved it. The peas and pancetta were a great combination and the farfalle was cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have used less pancetta or omitted it altogether. The peas were good and the farfalle was cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have added more garlic and pepper. The peas and pancetta were good, but the farfalle was a bit overcooked.
