Creamy Sweet Pea and Bacon Pasta. 🥓🫛

I’m trying to get better and quicker meals and healthier food choices. 😄

This recipe called for “pancetta” but all I had was good ole thick cut bacon. 🤤 Something quick and simple. 👌🏾

For the sauce, I used:

•A hint of bacon grease

• heavy whipping cream

• the juice of half a lemon

• salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder

Are you looking for easy summer meal ideas? This Creamy Sweet Pea and Bacon Pasta recipe is not only simple but also incorporates fresh ingredients that are perfect for warm weather. To prepare, start by cooking your pasta of choice until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, fry the bacon until it’s crispy, then set it aside. Use a small amount of the bacon grease to create a rich sauce by adding heavy whipping cream, fresh lemon juice, and seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, mix in the cooked pasta, bacon pieces, and fresh sweet peas for a delightful flavor experience. This dish is a fantastic option for quick meals, allowing you to serve up something nourishing and tasty without spending hours in the kitchen. You can easily customize the recipe by switching out bacon for pancetta or adding your favorite vegetables. Enjoy a plate of comforting pasta that captures the essence of summer with every bite!
