INGREDIENTS
1.75 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (49g)
2.75 oz Pancetta (78g)
1/2 cup Green Peas (80g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk (60ml)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook until al dente, then drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta. Cook until it becomes crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even crisping.
Add the green peas to the skillet with the pancetta and stir for about 2 minutes, allowing them to warm and soften slightly.
Lower the heat and pour in the low-fat milk, stirring to create a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Toss the drained pasta into the skillet, mixing thoroughly to combine the pasta with the creamy sauce, crispy pancetta, and tender peas.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious, balanced meal.
