Ingredients

• ¼ lbs. butter (= 4 coffee measures = ½ cup)
• 1 pint cream
• 1 package (10 or 12 oz.) frozen peas
• 2 5-ounce packages pancetta — or — 1 lb. ground beef
• 1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 clove garlic, crushed (approximately 1 teaspoon minced garlic)
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Brown the meat (pancetta or ground beef) in a medium sized skillet with the garlic.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. When the butter is completely melted, stir in the cream and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the browned meat and garlic to the saucepan and continue simmering for another 2-3 minutes.

Add the cheese and stir or whisk until it's melted into the sauce.

Stir in the parsley.

Serve and enjoy!
