Author's Notes

To roast garlic, preheat an oven to 375 degrees F. Add the entire bulb in the oven and roast until extremely tender, about 30 minutes. You can also cut off the head, drizzle with oil, and wrap in foil. Either way works! Do this while the crostini bakes!

step 8

Spread a spoonful on each toasted crostini.

step 9

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the cubed pancetta and saute until brown and crispy and the fat has rendered.

step 10

Lower the heat to medium and with the pancetta in the pan, add the Shallot (1). Saute until wilted and tender, 3-5 minutes.

step 11

Add the Frozen Green Peas (1 bag) and toss to coat in the pancetta and onion. Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the peas are heated all the way through. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.

step 12

To assemble, add the pea mixture atop each crostini. The ricotta will act like glue, however you can smash the peas to have it stick better. Repeat until finished.
