Linguine With Pancetta and Peas

March 9, 2019 by Grace 2 Comments

Linguine with pancetta and peas

I love pasta dishes. They are usually quick and easy to prepare, budget friendly, and super satisfyingly delicious. Linguine with Pancetta and Peas checks all of those boxes.

Linguine With Pancetta and Peas

This pasta dish is super savory due to the addition of the pancetta. Pancetta is Italian pork belly which has been salt cured, and it is so very very good!

Italians often serve pancetta as an antipasti. It is also used in cooking to add a depth and savory flavor to soups and pastas. Pancetta is normally cut into cubes when used for cooking, and is thinly sliced when served as an antipasti.

This dish cooks up in a flash! It is a great option when you want a 5 star dinner that’s budget friendly, quick, and delicious. Who doesn’t want that? 🙂

My tendency is toward spicy foods, so I have included Thai chilis in this recipe. These are purely optional. If you like big and bold flavors, I believe you will enjoy the chilis in this dish.

Serve this pasta along with a side salad and a glass of Chardonnay for a superb meal. Enjoy!

  • Just before the pasta is finished cooking, reserve 1 cup of the cooking water.  Drain the pasta once it is finished, and add the pasta to your skillet.  
  • Stir to incorporate all the ingredients, and then add the reserved cooking water, a little at a time, until your pasta is smooth and silky, and doesn’t stick together. 
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy!

Sprinkle a generous amount of parmesan on top, and fresh pepper if desired.  Enjoy this savory and delectable pancetta pasta!

About Me

Hi I’m Grace! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions! Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go. My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too. Let’s throw some actual travel in from time to time, all with an emphasis on keeping your wallet full and happy as well. Let’s get cooking and let’s start exploring!! I'm excited to be on this journey with you!!

By the way most of these recipes are Toby taste tested and Toby approved!!
