Penne Pasta with Peas and Bacon
5 mins prepServes 4
This creamy penne pasta with peas and bacon is the kind of dinner I turn to when I need something delicious on the table fast. Sweet peas, crisp bacon, onions, and a touch of cream come together in just 20 minutes.
0 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Halfway thru cooking the pasta, add the frozen peas to the water. Refer to package cooking instructions minus 1 minute so the penne pasta will be at dente.
1 Meanwhile, in a large skillet, add the olive oil over medium-high, and add the finely diced onions and the bacon. Cook until the bacon and onions are crisp but not burned.
2 Drain the pasta and peas and add them to the onion bacon mixture. Lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream.
3 Stir well, add more cream if needed and serve immediately.
