PASTA, PANCETTA AND PEAS
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
- Meanwhile, saute pancetta in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. In the same pan, saute onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add peas and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, pasta and pancetta. Moisten pasta with some of the reserved pasta water. Toss to incorporate, season with salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve, sprinkled with lemon juice.
PEAS & PANCETTA
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan, add the pancetta and shallot, and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is browned and the shallot is tender. Add the frozen peas, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until the peas are hot. Stir in the mint, taste for seasonings, and serve hot.
GORGONZOLA PEAR PASTA
A delicious combination of the unique flavor of gorgonzola cheese and the sweetness of fresh pears. Brush the pear cubes with lemon juice to keep them from browning.

PASTA WITH PANCETTA AND GORGONZOLA SAUCE
This is NOT a low fat recipe, but it is oh-so delicious when you are in the mood for a treat. I made it up when I had some pancetta, heavy cream and gorgonzola on hand (three things I almost never have in the house). I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. You can use more or less gorgonzola depending on how strong you want the flavor.
