Fettuccine Alla Carbonara

This creamy pasta dish works particularly well with a loaf of warm Italian bread as a delicious light meal any time.

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices Fiorucci Pancetta, cut in long thin strips, divided
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces fettuccine
  • ¾ cup green peas
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Directions:
  1. Saute the pancetta strips until crisp. Remove the pancetta and keep warm; reserve cooking juices in pan.
  2. Cook and drain the pasta, and return to pot.
  3. In the reserved juices, saute the shallots; add the wine. Reduce the wine until almost evaporated.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and reduce for several minutes; add the peas and cook until tender.
  5. Pour the cream sauce over the pasta and toss well.
  6. Add the pancetta and Parmesan cheese, reserving some for garnish, and toss lightly. Season to taste. Garnish with reserved pancetta and Parmesan cheese.
