In a medium skillet or sauté pan, melt ½ tablespoon of butter over medium heat just to coat the pan and place in pancetta. Cook over medium until just starting to get crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Add remaining butter and shallots with salt and pepper and sauté until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
Add cream and deglaze the pan, scraping any bits from the bottom. Cook for one minute then add peas.
Cook just until hot, remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
Serve immediately.
