Preparation
- Heat the oil and butter in a heavy based pan and fry the diced pancetta for 1 minute. Add the shallots and garlic and fry for 3 minutes or until soft. Add the peas and coat them in the mixture and add the double cream and simmer for 2 – 3 minutes. Add the parmesan cheese and season well with the sea salt and black pepper. Toss the sauce into the hot pasta and serve.
- Garnish with the fresh basil, crispy bacon and parmesan cheese.
Tip!
- The less water you use when cooking peas, the less vitamin C is lost. Steaming helps to conserve this vitamin. When boiling frozen peas, add enough water to cover, bring to the boil and then cover and simmer for 3 minutes. To microwave 227 grams (8oz) of frozen peas add 15ml (1 tablespoon) of water, place in a non metallic container and cover. Cook on full power for 4 minutes (750W) or 4 1/2 minutes (650W).
