Orecchiette with Pancetta and Peas

Peas are such an underrated vegetable. They remind many people of frozen dinners and school cafeteria lunches. But they can be so much more! You can make them the star of any recipe using a combination of aromatics and seasonal ingredients. They're comforting, affordable and a great go-to for weekly recipes. 


Here’s a super tasty and quick pasta dish using just a few ingredients.
