Spinach, Lima Bean & Crispy Pancetta Pasta
We opt for fresh spinach pasta here--it cooks quickly and adds a pop of color. Cooking lima beans in pancetta drippings infuses them with flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 (9 ounce) package fresh spinach pasta
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces diced pancetta
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen baby lima beans, thawed
- 1 cup sliced shallots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¾ cup grated pecorino cheese, divided
Directions:
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of water, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add lima beans and shallots to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and rosemary; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the pasta and the reserved water to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice, the pancetta and half the pecorino. Serve the pasta topped with the remaining pecorino.
