Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 slices of bacon (cut up)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 lbs of thin spaghetti noodles
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup peas (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • parsley for garnish
  • salt/pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Start cooking the noodles in a large pot of salted water. Don't over cook them.
  • While the noodles are cooking, in a large saute pan in a medium to low heat start cooking the bacon
  • Once it's brown, add the garlic and stir it a few times
  • You may need to lower heat so the garlic doesn't burn. Check on the pasta, it should be al-dente.
  • Strain the pasta, but reserve about 1/4 cup of the hot water
  • Immediately add the pasta to the pan with the bacon and toss gently - keep heat source at low
  • Add the cream, peas and parmesan cheese and toss until everything is well combined and cream thickens a little. IF the noodles are becoming a little too "glued" together, add a little bit of that reserved hot water
  • Remove from heat
  • Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with some chopped parsley and extra parmesan cheese. Enjoy while it's warm!
