Cooking Steps

• Set the pasta cooking in a large pot of salted water according to package directions.
• Meanwhile cook the pancetta in a frying pan with one whole clove of garlic until the pancetta renders fat, then discard the garlic.
• Add half the mint, cream and Parmesan cheese and heat the cream gently over low heat until the cheese is melted, then add the frozen peas and cook for 1 minute longer. Add salt to taste and take it off the heat.
• Drain the cooked pasta while reserving ½ cup of pasta water. Add the pasta to the pan with the sauce, add the other half of the mint. Toss the pasta in the sauce until well coated, adding a splash of reserved water if the sauce is too dry. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
