PAPPARDELLE WITH PANCETTA AND PEAS
The very notion of buttery noodles and fresh sweet peas is enough to make anyone swoon. As a meal, it is the essence of simplicity. But no one will complain if there is also a whisper of new green garlic, a dab of herby pesto and a dollop of ricotta. Oh, and a touch of lemon zest. Add tender mustard greens and a few bites of pancetta or bacon to round it all out.

Steps:
- Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium-low heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic, cook 1 minute and then add the orange juice.
- Increase the heat to medium, add the peas and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and fold in the orange zest, parsley and butter. Taste for seasoning and add salt if necessary, though you shouldn't need much, if any, because the pancetta adds a natural saltiness to the dish.
PEAS WITH SHALLOTS AND PANCETTA
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large high sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown and the fat has rendered. Remove the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Add the shallots and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook until soft. Add the peas and cook until warmed through. Transfer to a large bowl and top with the crisp pancetta.
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.

Steps:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and saute for about 5 minutes or until the pancetta is crispy. Remove pancetta. Chop pancetta into pieces.
- Add onion and garlic to the drippings in the skillet. Saute for 2-5 minutes until tender.
- Add peas, broth, sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the peas are at the desired tenderness.
- Stir in chopped parsley and pancetta. Stir and heat through.
- Serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender peas for the best flavor.
- Use good quality pancetta or bacon for a rich, smoky flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the peas; this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the peas until they are just tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
- Serve the peas immediately, garnished with fresh herbs like mint or parsley.
