½ CUP
GRATED PECORINO ROMANO
1 TBSP

BORGATTI'S CAVATELLE
FRESH CHOPPED PARSLEY AND CRUSHED RED PEPPER FOR SERVING
Preparation
1:
Cook the pancetta in a large sauté pan over medium heat until the fat is rendered and crispy, about 7–8 minutes. Remove the pancetta from the pan, leaving the fat behind, and drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
2:
Melt the butter in the pan. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and caramelize on low while the cavatelle cooks.
3:
Add cavatelle with a pinch of salt to boiling water. Boil 15–18 mins. Drain the cavatelle, reserving the pasta cooking water, and add it to the pan with the mushrooms.
4:
Add the pecorino romano, garlic paste, and peas to the pan. Stir to combine, adding pasta cooking water as needed to reach the desired sauce consistency (about ¼–½ cup). Add the heavy cream, nutmeg, and pancetta to the pan. Stir to combine, seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste.
5:
Serve topped with fresh chopped parsley and crushed red pepper.
