Description
This tasty pasta relies on just a few store cupboard essentials to make a quick meal. Replace the pancetta with thinly sliced ham for a leaner cut of pork.
Method
Step 1 of 3
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. A minute or two before the end of cooking, throw the peas in with the pasta to cook through. Drain (reserving a ladleful of the cooking water) and return it to the pan with the reserved water.
Step 2 of 3
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cook the pancetta for 3-5 minutes over a medium heat until crispy. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute, then remove from the heat.
Step 3 of 3
Toss the garlic pancetta through the pasta and peas, and follow with the Parmesan cheese. Season well to taste and serve with extra Parmesan cheese.
