Tomato and Pancetta-Butter Sauce over Garden Mint Pea Ravioli with Chives, Basil and Thyme

Instructions: 

1. Cook chopped pancetta in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until crisp and brown. Transfer pancetta to paper towel and drain. Set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings from pan.
2. Add butter to drippings in pan; melt over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and herbs; sauté until tomatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
3. Meanwhile, cook ravioli in 4 quarts of water for each pound. Add a hearty pinch of salt. Bring water to a full boil, reduce heat and then add ravioli. (If you add ravioli when the water is at a robust boil, you risk having the ravioli split open.) Occasionally, stir gently to prevent ravioli from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Once water returns to a gentle boil, cook about 6-8 minutes. Drain carefully, or simply use a slotted spoon to remove the ravioli individually from the pot.
4. Drizzle sauce over ravioli. Top with fresh basil, chives and/or thyme, if desired.
