Cooking Instructions:

1. TO COOK THE FETTUCCINE:
Gently separate the strands of fresh fettuccine with your hands. Once the pot of water is at a rapid boil, add the fettuccine to the water and cook for 2 mins. Add the peas to the pot and cook for a further 1 min. Drain into a colander, reserving 3 Tbsps of the cooking water. Drizzle with oil to stop from sticking.
2. TO COOK THE PANCETTA:
Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the pancetta slices and fry for 30-60 secs on each side until crispy. Remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel.
3. TO FINISH THE PASTA:
Return the fettuccine and peas to the pot it was cooked in and place over a medium heat. Pour in the sundried tomato sauce and cook for 1-2 mins until heated, adding some of the reserved water if needed to loosen.
TO SERVE:
Spoon the fettuccine into pasta bowls and top with pancetta strips, rocket and shaved Parmesan.
