Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water. If using fresh English peas, add to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Add the snap peas and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes, then add the snow peas and cook 30 seconds. Drain the peas and plunge into the ice water to cool.
- Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Add the flour to the drippings in the skillet and cook, whisking, until toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth and cream and cook until reduced by one-third, about 6 minutes.
- Drain the peas, shaking off the excess water, then add to the skillet (if using frozen peas, add them here). Cook, stirring, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the pancetta.

STUFFED SNOW PEAS
These hors d'oeuvres are so elegant for bridal or baby showers. I always make them ahead. You can season the cream cheese with anything you like. I sometimes make them with plain cream cheese. They are time consuming- but worth it because the presentation is beautiful. Did I mention they taste great too? From the wonderful book 'Showers' by Beverly Clark.

Steps:
- In salted, boiling water, blanch (boil rapidly in lots of water) snow peas for 30 seconds.
- Cool in cold water, drain, and set aside.
- Blend the rest of the ingredients until smooth.
- With a sharp pairing knife, split the snow peas along the curved side.
- Fill each snow pea with filling, using a small spatula or pastry bag with tip.
- I have used a ziplock bag with a hole cut in the corner.
- Can be made the day before, refrigerate, and serve chilled.
STUFFED PEA PODS
For the perfect appetizer for baby showers, garnish each one of these cream-stuffed goodies with a bit of cream cheese and one, two or even more individual peas, depending on how many she's expectin'! Or if you prefer, garnish with cooked baby shrimp.

Tips:
- Choose fresh spring peas: Look for peas that are plump and bright green in color. Avoid peas that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
- Prepare the peas properly: Before cooking, shell the peas and remove any strings. You can also blanch the peas for a few minutes to preserve their color and flavor.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to flavor your stuffed spring peas. Some good options include mint, dill, thyme, garlic, and onion.
- Cook the peas until tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the recipe you are using. Be sure to cook the peas until they are tender but still retain their bright green color.
- Serve the peas immediately: Stuffed spring peas are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their peak flavor and texture.
