Ingredients

  • 1 pound wagon wheel-shaped pasta (rotelle)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1/4 cup
  • 8 ounces pancetta, finely diced
  • 1 large or 2 small shallots, chopped
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups (5 ounces) sugar snap peas, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups (9 ounces) shelled edamame peas
  • 1 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the shallots to the pan and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in the snap peas and simmer until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the pasta, cooked pancetta, edamame peas, petite peas, Parmesan, the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and mint leaves. Toss until coated, adding the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen the sauce. Transfer to a large bowl and serve.

    This was pretty good! Easy to make, tasty with the pancetta and parm, and healthy with all the greens. There really wasn't a "sauce" to it, though. Definitely seems more like a pasta salad, esp after you chill it for leftovers. Quite tasty, though. I'd make it again.

    Very delicious, but the pancetta and Parmesan combo makes it quite salty, even with the veggies and mint added in. I don't think you need as much salt as she uses in the demo of this recipe on her show.
