Serving

1 1/2 cups shelled fava beans (about 1 3/4 lb unshelled)
6 oz uncooked campanelle or farfalle ( bow tie pasta)
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
6 center-cut bacon slices, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups sliced red onion
8 garlic cloves, sliced
3 oz thinly sliced mushrooms
1 cup fresh shelled or frozen green peas, thawed
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 oz fresh pecorino romano cheese (about 6 tbsp), grated and divided
