Laura Vitale Instagram – Ever have those recipes or dishes that are so simple you feel like nobody would understand your love for them so you just never make a big deal when it’s on the table but yet, it’s always everyone’s dish at that meal?! That’s how I feel about these peas with pancetta. Growing up my mom would add pancetta, guanciale, bits of prosciutto, anything salty and fatty and peas were never without onions so the 3 together really work like magic and I kid you not, these peas are the only way we really eat peas in our family (my brother will eat a whole pot of them, I had to make a huge pot for his birthday 😂) that’s how good they are. Ingredients list below, I hope you add this recipe your weekly repetition, you won’t believe how good they are and I promise they will indeed become a fav!
Add a few tablespoons of good olive oil to a pan, add one diced yellow onion along with 4oz of pancetta (I like the thin cut here but any cut finely chopped will do) sauté about 10 minutes, they will be soft and lightly brown but not crispy so don’t worry. Add 2.5 cups of frozen peas, about a cup of water, salt and plenty of pepper, cook for about 20 minutes until the peas are tender and most of the water has cooked off (but should still be some remaining) add some chopped parsley to it and that is is! Best peas ever! | Posted on 08/Jan/2025 01:42:10
