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

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.

FARFALLE WITH PEAS AND BACON

Provided by James Briscione

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 recipe Fresh Pasta
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Semolina flour, for dusting
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into pieces
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
Kosher salt
2 cups frozen sweet peas
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
7 ounces "00" or all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups) (see Cook's Note)
3 ounces semolina flour (about 1/2 cup) (see Cook's Note)
3 large eggs
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • After the dough has rested, divide it in half, reserving one half for another use. Set up a pasta roller attachment on a stand mixer (or secure a hand roller to the side of your work surface). Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough until it is thin enough to pass through the pasta roller. Set your roller to the widest setting. Turn on the pasta roller and pass the dough through once. Fold the rolled-out piece of dough over itself, then pass through the roller again. If the edges of the dough begin to fray or the dough is sticky or damp, lightly dust both sides with flour. Repeat five to six more times, until the dough is smooth.
  • Adjust the roller to the second widest setting, dust both sides of the dough with flour, and pass it through twice (without folding). Repeat, adjusting to a thinner setting each time and passing through twice, until the dough is thin but not so much that it is translucent.
  • Coat the rolled dough with a light dusting of semolina flour. Cut the dough into rectangles roughly 1 1/2 by 3 inches. Pinch the center of a rectangle together to make a small fold, then pinch again, this time from the edges, pressing to secure the folds and creating a butterfly shape. Toss the finished farfalle on a semolina-dusted baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Combine the bacon and 2 tablespoons water in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until the water evaporates and the bacon is crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the onion and cook 1 to 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside until the pasta is ready.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle, stir gently to prevent sticking and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon or spider to transfer the pasta to the skillet with the bacon and onions and toss to combine. Add the peas and 1/2 cup pasta water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and add the butter. Cook, tossing, until the pasta is just tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in half the Parmesan. Divide between plates and top with the remaining Parmesan.
  • Mound the flour in the center of a clean countertop or cutting board. Make a well in the center of the flour 3 to 4 inches wide.
  • Crack the eggs into the well and add a pinch of salt. Using a fork, break the yolks and begin to beat the eggs as you would if making scrambled eggs.
  • Continue stirring the eggs with a fork in large circles, slowly incorporating the flour. When the eggs form a thick mass and become difficult to stir, about 3 minutes, fold the loose flour from the edges into the pile with a bench scraper and knead until a smooth dough forms. Discard any excess flour.
  • Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and set aside to rest for 20 minutes before rolling. If waiting more than 1 hour, refrigerate or freeze the dough. The dough will keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the pasta will cook unevenly and the peas will become mushy.
  • Cook the pasta until it is al dente. This means that it should be slightly firm to the bite.
  • Add the peas and pancetta to the pasta towards the end of cooking. This will prevent them from overcooking.
  • Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish the dish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Farfalle with peas and pancetta is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pasta. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
