Piselli e Pancetta - Peas and Bacon | La Cucina Italiana - De Italiaanse Keuken - The Italian Kitchen | Scoop.it

Sweet peas have arrived at the farmers market, spring is here! Peas & pancetta - one of my favorite dishes that I only eat in Spring when the peas are bright & fresh. I can't get enough, I don't know if it's the peas or the pancetta - is it the green veggie or the fatty pork that I love so?! Maybe I should just have another spoonful...
