Pasta Pancetta and Peas
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 C unsalted butter
1 C half and half
1 lb. fresh pasta - I use whole grain
1 C parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepper
peas - however many you like
pancetta - however much you like
Fry pancetta in a little olive oil and set aside. I buy a small container of pancetta at Trader Joes that is already chopped up into little pieces.
In a small saucepan melt butter, add half and half and heat gently. Stir in lemon juice and turn off heat.
Cook your pasta adding frozen peas to the boiling water right at the end just to heat through. Drain and put in large bowl.
Combine pasta, peas, pancetta and saucepan of lemon cream sauce. Toss all together and sprinkle in parmesan cheese.
