Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds fresh peas in pod or one 10-ounce box frozen baby peas
1 pound sugar snap peas and/or snow peas
1/2 pound sliced pancetta or 1/4 pound sliced bacon
2 shallots
1 pound dried farfalle or rotini
3 tablespoons olive oil
Accompaniment: freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Shell fresh peas if using. Diagonally cut sugar snaps and/or snow peas into thirds. Finely chop pancetta and shallots separately.
  • Fill a 6-quart pasta pot three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for peas and pasta. Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water.
  • Cook fresh or frozen peas in boiling water until tender, about 2 minutes, and with a slotted spoon transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Cook sugar snaps and/ or snow peas in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes, and with slotted spoon transfer to ice water. Reserve water in pot over low heat, covered. Drain peas in a colander and transfer to a bowl.
  • In a deep 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook pancetta in oil, stirring, until golden brown and edges are crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in shallots and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Return water in pot to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente and ladle out and reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta in colander and add to pancetta mixture with peas, 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat mixture over low heat, gently tossing (and adding more pasta water as needed if mixture becomes dry), until just heated through.
  • Serve pasta with Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Categories     Milk/Cream     Mushroom     Pasta     Sauté     Vegetarian     Kentucky Derby     Pea     White Wine     Spring     Parsley     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
4 large garlic cloves, minced
3 shallots, chopped
12 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, quartered
12 ounces crimini mushrooms, quartered
12 ounces chanterelle or crimini mushrooms, quartered
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
2 cups frozen peas
2/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/4 pounds farfalle (bow-tie pasta)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallots; sauté 1 minute. Add shiitake and crimini mushrooms and sauté 5 minutes. Add chanterelles; sauté until all mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes longer. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add cream and simmer until liquid is reduced to sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in peas and parsley. Remove from heat. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot.
  • Add mushroom sauce to pasta and toss to coat, moistening with reserved pasta cooking liquid, if necessary.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh ham, sweet peas, and a flavorful cheese like Parmesan or Asiago will make a big difference.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Farfalle should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Add the peas to the pasta during the last minute or two of cooking so they retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a light hand with the cream. Too much cream will make the sauce too heavy and rich.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Farfalle with ham and peas is a classic pasta dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender pasta, salty ham, sweet peas, and creamy sauce is irresistible. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with a side salad and a glass of white wine for a complete meal.
