garlic pasta with peas and pancetta
You can add any cheese and pasta you like. I like the bow ties because I don't use them much. You can also make it your own by adding broccoli crowns, or sausage instead of the bacon. You can even add some chicken broth instead of the pasta water to loosen up the sauce. Toasted pine nuts are great on top.
