Instructions
Cook orecchiette in a pot of boiling salted water according to package directions.
Add English peas and snap peas during the last minute of cooking. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain orecchiette and peas.
Meanwhile, cook pancetta in oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain all but 1 Tbsp. drippings from pan; add shallots and cook until softened, 3–4 minutes. Stir in orecchiette.
Whisk together eggs; gradually whisk in 3 Tbsp. reserved pasta water to temper eggs.
Off heat, add egg mixture to orecchiette, stirring, until sauce thickens. Stir in ½ cup Parmesan, dill, zest, and lemon juice; add more pasta water to reach desired consistency and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer orecchiette to a serving dish and top with Parmesan, dill, and burrata.
