A really simple easy to use recipe, you can use any other type of pasta. I use penne Ingredients:
350 g frozen peas |
450 g dry penne pasta |
12 slices pancetta or 12 slices streaky bacon |
30 ml fresh mint, shredded |
15 ml flat leaf parsley, chopped |
50 g parmesan cheese, grated |
15 g butter |
15 ml olive oil |
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
parmesan cheese, pieces |
Directions:
1. Cook the penne in a pan of salty water for about 10-12 minutes until ‘al dente’ or see the packet instructions. Drain well.
2. Cook the peas for 2 minutes then drain well and keep hot.
3. Meanwhile heat a frying pan with the oil and butter. Add the rashers of pancetta and fry until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper. In a large bowl toss all the ingredients together season to taste.
4. Garnish with the Parmesan shavings and serve piping hot.
