Bacon and pea pasta
The best part about Italian cooking is that it is quick and very easy. This is a fresh yet tasty pasta dish which takes just a few minutes to prepare. Bacon and peas go together so beautifully that you just have to try this easy recipe. (good for 6 people)
What you need
500g packet pasta (spaghetti or tagliatelle)
100g streaky bacon chopped
1 ½ cups frozen peas that have been boiled to soften
4-6 chopped spring onions
Palm of chopped parsley
Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
The process
Cook the pasta in plenty of water until al dente, drain and keep warm in the pot.
In a pan cook the bacon until there is a little fat in the pan, add the peas and spring onions, toss around to combine well and heat through.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss to combine, splash a little olive oil over the pasta and toss again. Add the parsley and give it a final toss.
The pasta should be glistening.
Serve and grate over a good amount of parmesan cheese.
That’s it, summer food at it’s best. Serve with bread and a simple salad.
I have added a little fresh mint to the mix before and it really makes a nice change, especially for a lunch on a hot day. There are some other fabulous easy pasta recipes for you to try.
