📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Once boiling, add the pasta and continue to boil until the pasta is tender (⏱️ 7-10 minutes). Reserve about a half cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the pasta in a colander.
2
While the pasta is boiling, cook the bacon. Add the bacon to a large skillet and cook over medium heat until brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate with a slotted spoon. Drain most of the bacon grease from the pan, leaving about 2 Tbsp.
3
While the bacon is cooking, finely dice the onion. Add the diced onion to the remaining bacon grease and sauté until tender (about ⏱️ 5 minutes).
4
Add the frozen peas and about ¼ cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet. Continue to cook and stir until the peas have heated through.
