Report
This quick, easy pasta dish takes as long as it takes to cook the pasta itself. It is a savory combination of sweet green peas with crisp onions and bacon.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ yellow onion diced very small
- 1 cup peas frozen
- 6 Bacon thick slices cut into small slices
- ¾ pound penne pasta
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Drain the pasta and peas and add them to the onion bacon mixture. Lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream.
- Stir well, add more cream if needed and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve it piping hot and immediately.
- The longer pasta sits, the softer it gets as the cooking continues.
- Serve it in a large pasta bowl, as I have pictured here, or pour it immediately into large pasta bowls.
- Let your guests add the amount of cheese they want over it.
- As the Italian says: ” Pasta does not wait for you. You wait for it” have your whole family ready to enjoy this excellent savory dish piping hot off the stove.
