Directions:

-Boil salted water in a large pot (5 Quart)
-Brown the Pancetta in a skillet (I use cast iron) with 1tbs Butter
-Place Scallops in a bowl and coat them well with the above spices, be especially generous with the Ginger
-Once the pancetta is brown add the Scallops and cover
-When the water comes to a boil add the Gnocchi and Peas, when the gnocchi start to float cook for two more minutes, drain and return to pot
-Turn the Scallops after about 5 minutes and cook covered over medium heat for 5 more minutes
-The Scallops are done when they look white instead of translucent
