Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pancetta until golden brown and crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  3. In the same pan, sauté the onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the peas and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the Parmesan, pasta, and pancetta. Add a little of the pasta water if the pasta looks dry. Stir, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.
