My own creation... Makes a main dish for one person or a side dish for two. Ingredients:
4 ounces spaghetti (or other pasta of your choice) |
1/2 cup frozen peas |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons onions |
1 minced garlic clove |
2 tablespoons cooked bacon |
2 ounces cream cheese or 2 ounces neufchatel cheese |
1/4 cup milk |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to directions adding peas to cooking pasta during last four minutes. Drain and rinse with hot water.
2. While pasta is cooking, fry chopped onion, garlic and bacon pieces in olive oil over medium heat until onion is translucent. (If using fresh bacon make sure it is cooked before adding onion and garlic).
3. Add cream cheese and milk to onion, garlic and bacon mixture and stir until creamy and bubbling. Remove from heat. Add red pepper flakes.
4. Stir in pasta and peas.
5. Garnish with parmesan cheese if you like.
