📝 Preparation Steps
1
Boil the pasta
2
Set a pot of water to boil along with a generous sprinkle of salt. Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente, or ⏱️ 1 minute less than the package instructions recommend.
Salt, to taste
3
Render the bacon, warm the peas
Bacon, 2 slicesPeas, 85 g
4
Meanwhile, slice the bacon into thin strips and add to a pan over low heat to render that fat. Sauté until the bacon is browned and crisp then add the peas, stirring to coat them in the fat until just warmed through. Remove from the heat.

Toss the pasta & serve
6
In a separate large bowl, add the ricotta and butter. Add the drained pasta and toss once or twice to melt the butter. Toss in the bacon and pea mixture, grated parm, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss the pasta until a cohesive and emulsified sauce forms. Serve immediately with more fresh parmesan or a dollop of ricotta over top.
