Instructions

Step 1 : 

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2 : 

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 4 minutes. Add the shallot, reduce the heat to medium-low, and sauté until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3 : 

Drain the grease from the pan and remove the pancetta mixture to a bowl.

Step 4 : 

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the pan over medium-high heat until it starts to bubble. Whisk in the chicken broth and cream and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low. Add the Parmesan and whisk until melted. Add the pancetta mixture, peas, lemon juice, chives, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.

Step 5 : 

Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss to coat.

Step 6 : 

Serve garnished with Parmesan and cracked black pepper.
