  1              slice  pancetta -- thick, or 3 slices unsmoked bacon, diced
  2        tablespoons  olive oil
  1                     garlic clove -- peeled and chopped
  1                     onion -- peeled and minced
  10            ounces  frozen peas -- (1 package)
     1/4           cup  vegetable stock
                        salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
                        To serve: cooked pasta to serve 4 people
                        freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Saute pancetta or bacon in oil for 1 minute. Add garlic and onion and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until they are soft but not brown.

Add peas and stock and bring to a boil. Simmer 2 minutes, season with salt and pepper and toss with pasta. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

Makes 4 servings.

VARIATIONS:
1.  Add 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms and some chopped parsley with garlic and onion. Continue as above.
2.  Add 1/2 pound sliced chicken livers with garlic and onion. Saute until cooked before adding peas.

Ham and peas are traditional partners in Italian soups and sauces, as they are elsewhere. This well-flavored recipe comes from Central Italy. It is worth seeking out pancetta for the authentic flavor it gives. If you cannot find it, unsmoked bacon can be used instead.
