• Start cooking the pasta as directed on the package.
• Cook the pancetta in a large skillet, remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate and pour off most of the grease.
• While the pancetta is cooking, in a mixing bowl, add the cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and parsley. Stir to combine and set aside.
• Add the garlic and shallots and cook for 1 minutes, then turn off the heat.
• Drain the pasta, be sure to reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water.

PASTA WITH CAULIFLOWER AND PEAS

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the vegan bacon bit pieces, panko and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until Panko is deep, dark golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn! Transfer the Panko-bacon mixture to a bowl. Let cool, then toss with 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Set aside.
• Return the skillet to the heat, increase the heat to medium-high, and add a splash of water. Once the oil is hot, add the cauliflower, onion, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender and has begun to brown in spots, about 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and red pepper and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. With a large spoon, scoop the vegetables onto a large plate.
• Return the pot to the heat. Add 2 1/2 cups of the broth and increase the heat to high. Once simmering, add the pasta and adjust the heat so that it comes to a gentle boil. As soon as it begins to boil, cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid is absorbed and pasta is tender. If at any point the pasta seems dry, add in some of the remaining broth to loosen it back up. Once the pasta has cooked, stir in the peas and let cook just long enough to warm them through, about 30 seconds. If the pasta is too dry, add more broth or (if you run out) hot water.
• Add your kale and stir until kale is wilted.
• Add in your reserved cauliflower mixture and stir until well incorporated.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the parsley, lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons vegan parmesan.
• Taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired (remember, the bread crumb mixture is a bit salty/peppery too). Divide the pasta between serving bowls and sprinkle the bacon breadcrumbs generously over the top.
• Refrigerate leftovers.
