Method
Comforting, filling pasta; smoky, salty bacon; sweet, popping peas; a slight creaminess and a hint of cheese. I don’t think you can ask much more from a dinner. I almost always have these ingredients in the house so I think this will be making a regular appearance on my table. On writing this I thought perhaps this would make a nice dinner for tonight. I then remembered I used the last of my frozen peas making this one.
Su pasta se ve deliciosa lindo y sabroso plato para mi almuerzo,abrazos
Just had me some variation of this yesterday aka Spaghetti Carbonara! I love the peas nice and plump.
Nice and something I am seriously gonna replicate for this weekend. Have most of ingredients already at home.
I love that bacon and mint combination…and the creamy coating! 🙂 ela
Wow sure love this economical and delicious dish!
Cheap, quick and easy.. with peas.. this dish is for me 😀
Nice one. But you forgot to factor-in the price of the bottle of Valpolicella!
Yummy, I love creamy pasta with peas and bacon, my mum used to make it when I was a kid all the time:-)
i love seeing peas in pasta dishes, and the bacon and creamy sauce make this even better, obviously. 🙂
I love the combination of flavours in this dish. It’s exactly what I’d love to eat in the evening.
Frozen peas are such a great ingredient to have around. They let you easily add a veggie into virtually any dish!
This creamy pasta looks heavenly! The peas, bacon and mint sounds very deliciously together 🙂
