Piselli alla Fiorentina

Piselli alla Fiorentina is a traditional Tuscan dish hailing from Florence. It's made with fresh spring peas as the main ingredient, along with olive oil, garlic, chopped parsley, ground pepper, and diced pancetta or ham. The combination is cooked in water for a short while, then seasoned and served. Piselli alla Fiorentina are typically served as a side dish accompanying meat or as a main dish that should be served with fresh bread to mop up the leftover juices.
