Spring Peas With Pancetta image

This comes from the April 2005 issue of Cooking Light. They recommend that you do not substitute bacon for the pancetta as the smoky flavor would overwhelm the peas. The unsmoked pancetta really balances the sweetness of the new peas. You can substitute frozen petite green peas for the fresh.

I'm not a fan of pancetta, so I used bacon instead. It turned out just as good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my peas turned out mushy. I think I overcooked them.

This spring peas with pancetta dish is a delightful explosion of flavors. The pancetta adds a smoky, salty richness that pairs perfectly with the sweet peas and creamy sauce. I especially loved the addition of lemon zest, which brightened up the dish
