I loved the basics of this recipe but did change a couple of things. I added shallot, a touch of garlic and used very thick sour cream instead of making a sauce. The pancetta was delish. I suppose you could probably also used Greek yogurt to make the dish creamy. These peas were awesome, the family loved them and they still had some crisp and taste to them a couple of days later during a leftovers dinner. Definitely making these again.

I love vegetables- but this recipe missed the mark. I followed it exactly. The sauce needed to be thicker than it was; and the flavors were bland. If I make this again, I may add truffle salt and half the sauce- or maybe add a spicy kick like red pepper or some Chinese Chili Sauce with soy sauce? It needs something more than pancetta. And there was way too much sauce compared to peas. They were drowned in a bland milky bath. blah.

Not a bad dish. Simple and easy, but rather bland. I too added some green onions and a fair amount more of lemon and still not quite the zing I was hoping for. Would have been extremely bland without the pancetta. Thank goodness for bacon ... it makes everything better!

I made this for Easter and while everyone said it was good, but there were a lot of leftovers : It wasn't exactly creamy - next time I will either add another tablespoon of flour and/or let it reduce longer to thicken up. It was a little bland when first I tasted it so I added a bunch of green onions and some crushed red pepper which really helped.

Made this dish with bacon. Sauce turned out like the gravy we make for biscuits and gravy. Made way to much gravy for the peas. They were drowning. All I could taste was gravy and bacon. Heavy side dish. This won't get a second go around, sorry.

I made this dish as the recipe called for and I thought it needed something else. So, I added pearl onions and replaced the pancetta with proscuitto. My wife loved it.

I made this exactly as described and loved it! I found the flavor of the peas was the star. I also had it for brunch the next day with an over easy egg on top..I highly recommend it this way.

Very good! I did not think it was bland at all, perhaps others are not seasoning enough? The pancetta really makes this a delicious dish and the lemon juice is a nice touch.

I used the bacon I had on hand and this was a big hit....my daughter who likes peas loved it and hubby who does NOT like peas even found it palatable. I used locally made bacon that is pretty heavily smoked.....so that probably added some flavor it where others complained it was pretty bland.
