Spring Peas With Pancetta image

This comes from the April 2005 issue of Cooking Light. They recommend that you do not substitute bacon for the pancetta as the smoky flavor would overwhelm the peas. The unsmoked pancetta really balances the sweetness of the new peas. You can substitute frozen petite green peas for the fresh.

I'm allergic to peas, so I substituted them with chopped asparagus. It turned out great!

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic and pepper next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the pancetta with chopped walnuts. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover peas. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the dish and it turned out great.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The peas were overcooked and the pancetta was too crispy.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much pancetta. Other than that, it was a great recipe.
