Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Roughly chop the mint leaves. Place the flat-side of a large knife on the garlic cloves and press down firmly. Peel off the skin and finely chop the garlic.

2

Cook the penne in the boiling water for 10 mins with ½ tsp of salt. Tip: Keep 2 tbsp of pasta water before you drain it.

3

Brown off the pine nuts in a non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Tip: They should take a few mins to start browning but watch them like a hawk as they can burn really easily. Once toasted take them out of the pan and keep them for later.

4

Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in the same pan on medium-high heat. Cook the pancetta until it goes crispy around the edges.

5

Add in the peas and continue to cook for 5 mins. Add in the garlic for a further minute.

6

Add 2 tbsp of water from the pasta to the pan with the peas. Cook for a minute before stirring in the crème fraîche together with the vegetable stock pot and a few good grinds of black pepper.

7

By now your penne should be ready. Drain it and mix into your sauce together with your chopped mint.

8

Plate up your pasta, grate the parmesan over the top and sprinkle over your pine nuts. Tuck in and enjoy!
