12 oz (375 g) linguine
2 cups (500 mL) snow peas, thinly sliced
4 oz (125 g) pancetta or bacon, chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) hot pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tbsp (15 mL) minced fresh oregano (or 1/2 tsp/2 mL dried)
1/3 cup (75 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation:
In large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine for 7 minutes. Add snow peas; cook until pasta is tender but firm and snow peas are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Reserving 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the cooking liquid, drain and return to pot.
Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, fry pancetta over medium-high heat until starting to crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain off fat. Add oil, onion, garlic, salt, and hot pepper flakes (if using); fry until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add parsley, oregano, pasta mixture and reserved cooking liquid; toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese.
