  2. 2 Sauté the onions in the oil for 6 minutes until they are translucent and sweet.
  3. 3 Add peas with chopped tomatoes and 250 ml of hot water, cook for 10 minutes until the peas are tender.
  4. 4 Mash one-third of the beans with a wooden spoon until the sauce thickens, then add the pasta and cook for another 9 minutes.
  5. 5 Turn off the heat, mix the parmigiano pasta with the crispy guanciale and parsley, and let it sit for 3 minutes to absorb the liquid.
