I got this recipe out of cooking light magazine. This pasta is great tasting and simple to prepare. I loved it!! The only thing I did differently was to add about 1 cup mushrooms to the pan when I added the peas. Hope you enjoy!! Ingredients:
1 (9 ounce) package fettuccine |
2 slices smoked bacon |
1/2 cup onion, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped |
1/2 cup frozen peas |
1/2 cup green onion, chopped |
1/3 cup half-and-half |
2 teaspoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid.
2. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving drippings in the pan; crumble bacon.
3. Add onion, garlic, and thyme to drippings in pan; saute 2 minutes.
4. Stir in green peas; saute 1 minute.
5. Add green onions to pan; saute 1 1/2 minutes.
6. Add pasta, reserved cooking liquid, and half-and-half to pan; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated, tossing to combine.
