Oh lemons, cheese and peas…. How I love thee.  I thought this meal was nice, tasty and hellz yea- easy and SUPERFAST!  I happen to love peas so I might be slightly biased on this, but I thought combination and the lemon zest made it filling but not heavy.  I also loved the addition of zucchini, all the green vegetables made me feel like there was a nice healthy balance with the pancetta.
