Directions:
To begin, cook your pasta according to package instructions; drain and rinse under cold water.

While the pasta cooks, prepare your dressing: add all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor, and process the mixture until thick and completely creamy; or, whisk all ingredients in a medium bowl until blended; keep cold.

To assemble the macaroni salad: add the cooked and cooled macaroni to a large bowl, and add in the thawed petite peas and the diced, crisped pancetta; toss well with the dressing, then spoon into a serving bowl, and garnish with the thyme leaves; chill for an hour or two, and serve cold.
