Wash and dry all produce. Bring a #large pot{} of salted water to a boil. Mince garlic. Pick mint leaves from stems; discard stems. Roughly chop leaves.

Once water is boiling, add penne pasta to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente ~{10%minutes}. Carefully scoop out and reserve ⅔ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook, tossing, until lightly crisped ~{2%minutes}. Add garlic and peas and toss until fragrant ~{1%minute}.
