Cuisine Italian
- 10 oz Frozen Sweet Peas
- 1/2 Onion, finely diced
- 3 Thick slices of Pancetta, diced
- 1/2 cup Water
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup Grated Pecorino Romano
- 1 lb Pasta Mista
Into a sauté pan, add olive oil, diced onion, and pancetta sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add in the peas along with 1/2 cup of water, season with salt and pepper, and covered to allow the peas to cook and plump up. This will take approximately 10 minutes.
In the meantime, boil your pasta of choice. I am using Pasta Mista. Save a cup full of pasta water for later.
Once the pasta is al dente, added to the pan with the peas, along with grated Pecorino Romano cheese and a splash of pasta water. Mix to coat the pasta in all the flavors in the pan. You can add more pasta water if it seems dry to you.
Top with more grated pecorino Romano and enjoy!
