Pappardelle With Pancetta and Peas image

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.

SPRING PEAS WITH PANCETTA



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.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 slices pancetta (about 1 ounce)
3/4 cup white onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 cups shelled green peas
1 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

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.

Conclusion:

Spring peas with pancetta is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.
