  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Lay the pancetta slices on 1 tray. Place the tomatoes on the second tray, drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place 4 pancetta slices in a processor with half the peas. Add cream and half each of the mint and parmesan, then pulse briefly to coarsely crush. Add pea mix to pasta along with remaining peas. Return to low heat and toss for 1 minute to warm through.
  3. Divide pasta among bowls, tear over the remaining pancetta and top with roasted tomatoes, and remaining mint and cheese.
