Ingredients for 4 people- 266.67 g of Armando tube
- 333.33 g fresh peas
- 200g sweet bacon (optional)
- 1.33 fresh spring onion
- 13.33 parmesan rinds
- 66.67 g of Parmigiano Reggiano
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1/2 glass of wine (optional)
Peel the peas and rinse them under running water, clean and finely chop the spring onion and dice the bacon.
In a tall saucepan, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, the spring onion, pancetta, and 6 well-rinsed parmesan rinds. Sauté everything over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
As soon as the onion begins to brown, add the peas. Deglaze with half a glass of wine (only if you want to add the pancetta), let it evaporate, and cook for 7-8 minutes.
Separately, put a pot of water on the stove, add a stock cube and bring almost to the boil.
Gradually add ladles of hot water to the peas, covering them each time. Repeat this step at least three times.
After about 25 minutes, add the salt, the pasta, and enough ladles of water to reach a finger's breadth above the pasta.
With 3 minutes left, add the remaining Parmesan rinds.
Once cooked, turn off the heat and add the grated cheese and pepper, then mix everything well for 1 minute.
Enjoy your meal!
