Fresh Tagliolini with Cooked Pancetta and Peas

Preparation

Three layers of steam-cooked pork bellies create a delicate taste of pancetta. Overlapping layers of fat and lean meat create a mild flavor. Thinly sliced and quickly sauté for a delightful texture. Homemade spaghetti are juiced up with green peas and Cooked Pancetta. Top with Pecorino for a truly original take on the typical "cacao cheese and pepper."
