Preparation
Boil the pasta & peas
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and peas; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 2 to 3 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the bacon
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the bacon.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the bacon* and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to brown.
Make the sauce
- Meanwhile, mince the garlic.
- To the pan, add the garlic and peppercorns. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the cream and ½ the reserved cooking water (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until slightly thickened.
Combine the pasta
- To the pan, add the pasta, peas, cheese and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the pasta is coated and combined; season with S&P.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your plates. Bon appétit!
