This is a quick and easy pasta dish that the entire family will love. I use half and half cream in place of the heavy cream which makes a lighter dish though the sauce coats the pasta perfectly. If you prefer, you could substitute cooked, diced ham or bacon in place of the pancetta. I keep a bag of frozen petite peas in my freezer at all times to use to prepare quick meals, and they work great in this dish, though of course if you have fresh peas, they would be great as well. To serve, I like a sprinkling of cracked black pepper along with a heaping spoonful of either grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese.
