Ingredients

Method

In skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; fry bread crumbs, stirring, until crisp and golden, about 4 minutes. Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the Parmesan cheese; set aside.

In clean skillet, cook pancetta over medium-high heat until crisp, about 4 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in peas and white sauce; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta for 2 minutes less than package instructions indicate (pasta will be slightly undercooked). Drain; return to pot.

Toss together pasta, pancetta mixture and remaining Parmesan cheese. Spread in 8-inch (2 L) square casserole dish. Sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs.

Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until pasta is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
