6. Top with a few more layers of paper towel, the cutting board, and the heavy items. Let dry for 10 minutes.
7. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add one teaspoon of oil.
8. Add in the pancetta, cook until crisp, then remove the bacon to a small dish and return the pan to the stove.
9. Add the remaining olive oil and return the pan to medium heat. Add the shallot and saute for 2 minutes.
10. Then add the garlic and stir for 1 minute. Next, add the peas and stir until thawed through, about 2 minutes.
11. Finally, add in the zucchini, increase the heat to medium-high, and saute for 2-3 minutes or until fully warmed through.
12. Turn off the heat.
13. Beat together the eggs, egg yolk and cheese then add them to the pasta and toss gently until coated. This should take literally 2 minutes.
14. Add back the bacon and season with freshly cracked black pepper.
