Spring Peas With Pancetta

Recipe #302844 | 20 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Kim127

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.
