Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with water and ice. Add the shelled peas and cook for 1 minute.

    Add sugar snap peas and continue cooking for 2 minutes, then add snow peas and cook for another 30 seconds. Drain and plunge the peas into ice water.
  2. Fry the pancetta in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until crisp. Transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate.

    Add flour to the same skillet with the rendered fat and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and cream and continue cooking until the sauce has reduced by one-third, about 6 minutes.

  3. Place the peas in a sieve to drain off excess water, then add them to the pan with the sauce. Cook, stirring, until the peas are heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

    Divide the peas among plates and sprinkle with pancetta.
