Green Pea and Corn Pasta
Green Pea and Corn Pasta
Ingredients
- 375 g pasta, of your choice (see note)
- 2 ears corn, uncooked
- 60 g pancetta, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup (250 ml) frozen peas
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) butter
- Grated zest and juice of 2 limes
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Set aside 60 ml (1/4 cup) of the pasta cooking water. Drizzle olive oil over the pasta to prevent them from sticking. Keep warm.
- With a serrated knife, shell the corn.
- In a saucepan, brown the pancetta in the oil. Add the onion and cook until tender. Add the peas, corn, reserved cooking water, butter, lime zest, and juice. Cook gently for about 5 minutes or until the corn is cooked. Adjust the seasoning. Add the pasta and toss to heat through. If desired, serve with Parmesan cheese.
