Creamy Penne Peas Bacon (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup peas from the freezer

02 - 6 thick slices of bacon, chopped up small

03 - ½ yellow onion, finely chopped

04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

05 - ¾ pound penne noodles

06 - ¼ cup heavy cream

# Instructions:

01 - Fill a big pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Throw in the pasta and cook it halfway. Around then, toss the frozen peas in too. Check the package instructions, but stop cooking a minute early for firmer pasta.

02 - Set a large skillet on medium-high heat, pour in some olive oil, and add the diced onion and bacon. Stir and cook until everything's crispy but not burnt.

03 - Once the pasta and peas are drained, add them to your skillet with the bacon and onions. Lower the heat to medium and stir in heavy cream. If you need it creamier, pour in a little more.

04 - Serve it right away while it's steaming hot. Let everyone decide how much cheese they want to sprinkle on top.

# Notes:

01 - Eat this dish quickly since pasta will keep softening as it sits.

02 - Big, wide pasta bowls make serving easier.

03 - There's a saying in Italy: 'You wait for the pasta, not the other way around.'
