Linguine With Pancetta and Peas
Super satisfyingly delicious! This easy to prepare and budget friendly pasta dish will find its place on your table time and time again!
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine I used Skinner's
- 1 cup frozen peas defrosted
- 4 oz pancetta (chopped) I used Volpi
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Thai chilis (minced) optional! Only if you like spice!
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- parmesan essential!
Instructions
- Heat up olive oil in a large skillet on medium high
- Heat up water for pasta.
- Add garlic and chilis (if using) and stir for approximately 1 minute
- Add pancetta, and pan fry for around 4-5 minutes. Stir frequently
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to directions. IMPORTANT - reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, taken just prior to draining the pasta.
- Turn heat down to medium and add peas. Stir occasionally for around 2-3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir. Keep on low until the pasta is ready.
- 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!
Notes
Sprinkle a generous amount of parmesan on top, and fresh pepper if desired. Enjoy this savory and delectable pancetta pasta!
