Pasta with peas and bacon is a delightful dish that combines the fresh flavors of parsley and lemon with the rich, savory taste of bacon. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that feels both light and satisfying.
- Use a high-quality pasta for the best texture and flavor. Al dente pasta holds up well with the creamy sauce.
- Opt for fresh peas if available, as they provide a sweeter and more tender bite compared to frozen peas.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy, as this adds a wonderful crunch to the dish.
- Grate the lemon zest finely to distribute the citrus flavor evenly throughout the pasta.
- Toss the parsley in just before serving to retain its vibrant color and fresh taste.
- Reserve some pasta water to adjust the consistency of the sauce if needed. The starch in the water can help the sauce cling better to the pasta.
Enjoy your Pasta with peas and bacon as a refreshing yet hearty meal that balances creamy, savory, and fresh flavors beautifully. It's a versatile dish that can be enjoyed any time of the year.
