SPRING PEAS WITH PANCETTA
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.

j_wanda9@yahoo.comI tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The peas were overcooked and the pancetta was too crispy.

alive_user69@yahoo.comThis 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.
