Preparation:

Step 1
• In a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook the pancetta until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic, cook for 1 minute, then stir in the orange juice.
Step 2
• Increase the heat to medium, add the peas, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the orange zest, parsley, and butter. Taste and add a little salt if needed. You probably won't need to add much salt, though, as the pancetta adds its own saltiness to the dish.
