Ingredients:
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup pancetta, diced (ask the deli to slice it 1/4 inch thick)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- pinch of red pepper flake
- pinch of dried basil
- 3 tablespoons fresh sage, thinly sliced
- 5 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 3/4 cup reserved starchy pasta water + another 1/4 c. if needed
- 3 tablespoons half and half or cream if desired
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese + more to serve and garnish
- pinch of nutmeg
- 9 ounces pappardelle pasta
- salt and pepper
How to cook:
- Begin by making the shallot crisps. Heat the canola oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour to a small bowl and add a few pinches of salt and pepper. Dredge 1/3 of the shallot rings in flour (the rest of the shallots are for the pasta). Once oil is hot, fry the shallots in batches for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Let drain on paper towels, and set aside. Season with salt while they are hot.
- Next, heat a large pot of water to boil for pasta. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the pancetta and sauté for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove pancetta from skillet and place in a small bowl. Set aside.
- To the same pan, add the remaining 2 thinly sliced shallots and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until slightly golden. Add the red pepper flakes, dried basil, and spinach leaves. Reduce heat to medium/low and cook for 1 or 2 minutes, until spinach is wilted. Next add the peas and stir to heat through. (side note: The water should be boiling for the pasta at this point.) While veggies are cooking, don't forget to reserve your starchy pasta water!*
- Add starchy water to the veggies, as well as half and half, mascarpone, and parmesan. Stir to combine and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add a pinch of nutmeg and half of the sage, the crispy pancetta, as well as more salt and pepper to taste.
- Drain the pasta and toss lightly with olive oil. Place in a large serving bowl, and pour sauce over pasta, using tongs to combine, as well and any additional parmesan and pasta water if too dry. I added an additional 1/4 c. of water at this point. Garnish with remaining sage, more parmesan, and shallot crisps. Serve!
