Creamy Tomato Pancetta Pasta with Peas
Creamy Tomato Pancetta Pasta with Peas is the perfect fusion of savory, creamy, and slightly sweet flavors. Crispy pancetta delivers a salty bite while garlic, tomato paste, and cream come together in a rich, tangy sauce. Sweet green peas and sharp pecorino round it out for a comforting, well-balanced pasta. Finished with a dash of pasta water for silkiness and extra cheese and black pepper on top, this dish feels indulgent and easy all at once.
