Method
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a skillet over medium-low heat cook the pancetta until crispy.
- In a large bowl combine the leftover pasta, crispy pancetta, peas, a drizzle of olive oil and the shredded cheese. Mix well and then transfer the mix into a baking dish in an even layer. Top with the sliced mozzarella and another handful of shredded cheese.
- Continue stirring and add first a little milk at a time and then all of it, until the desired consistency is achieved. For a medium consistency, cook for 5-6 minutes on low heat.
- Combine the panko, parmigiano, lemon zest, parsley and a pinch of salt. Distribute the panko mix on top of the cheese.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and fresh parsley.
